If you are interested in giving a formal talk and would like to be a named speaker then please get in contact with me. If you would like to give a lightning talk then just turn up as a member and you are welcome to give a talk on any subject related to software development or a related area . Ideally (non formal) lightning talks should be 10-20mins at most. If you wish to do longer talks then please contact me beforehand.

After the talks we will spend a few hours socializing in the near by pub to discuss the night's talk and other tech issues. ( The conversations generally include everything related to software development, i.e. design technical debt, application scaling, Dev Languages and even the duration of a sprint length. The (BRSLM) Banana Ripeness Sprint Length method was invented at the last session, you place a banana on the desk and your team has until or I should say before that banana goes bad to develop, test and deploy your features to production.!! )

If you are currently learning a subject, you may wish to connect with other members to see if they are also interested in that subject. Perhaps start a discussion below and see if another member wants to give a shared lightning talk with you. :-)

Lightning talk subjects can be anything related to Software Development, i.e. Desktop, Web, Mobile , Testing, Software Development practices , Infrastructure wise Docker/Kubernetes, Build pipelines, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data science, Applications & Games Development, NOSQL vs Relational Dbs, AWS, Azure or Google Services, Programming Languages i.e. OOPS or functional programming, OpenStack, Api libraries etc.
