An Evening of Lightning Talks

Join us for a night of 6 to 8 lightning talks.

Lightning talks are 15-minute talks: perfect as a quick overview of a topic, and a GREAT way for a new speaker to give that first talk.

Talks:

Alexander Golubev: "How to measure scalability"
Gary Sieling: Functional Programming in The Cloud
Eric Riese: "Perl 6 — The Only Correct Programming Language"
Nick McAvoy: "My Coding Jig: A Scheme for Situated Computing"
Dustin Getz: "Why a Programming Language and a Database Management System Should Be the Same Thing"
Rich Costine: "Why I Chose Java over Scala for Some Recent Work"

We'll have anywhere from four to six 15-minute talks in this meeting, and there's no theme. If you've done something cool, or you've played with something that might interest others, suggest a talk. Ideally, we'd like a mixture of intro-level and intermediate-level talks, but we'll take anything at all. And we'd love to see some new faces.

If you have an idea for a 15-minute talk, send your idea to the organizers, at phase-orgs@googlegroups.com. A descriptive title is enough; we don't need an abstract. (But if you want to supply an abstract, that's cool, too.)
