I agree, 9 speakers at 5 min. each is a good target to aim for (allowing for some setup time per speaker).</div><div><br></div><div>Initially, when the welly LUG lightning talks were announced it was for a non-combined meeting and we didnt have many speakers. Fehmi wanted to give a 20-30 minute presentation, so I allowed for him having a larger time slot because it helped to fill missing gaps. </div><div>This is one reason why I only asked for 1 or two extras. The other reason is because I believe Grant is asking for more speakers on Perl Mongers and another Open Source channel/chat.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to give a talk on "A New Metaphor for FOSS Development" </div><div>thats great. I'll be happy to add you to the list.</div><div><br></div><div>With you added, and Fehmi's talk of say 25mins, that takes us to somewhere in the range of 45min speakers time, approx. 60mins total.</div><div><br></div><div>How does that sound to you?</div><div><br></div><div>I'll contact Grant as it seems we may want to coordinate on managing the list.</div><div>thanks</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:9px">Michael Coleman</div><div style="font-size:9px">Sent from Samsung Mobile</div></div></div><br><br><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Olly Betts <olly@survex.com> </div><div>Date:13/02/2018 4:54 PM (GMT+12:00) </div><div>To: Wellington Linux Users Group <wellylug@lists.wellylug.org.nz> </div><div>Subject: Re: [wellylug] Meeting this month - combining with Perl Mongers and
