<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hi Andrea,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This is a great idea. The feedback I received from the last DJUGL is that the lightning talks were a success, although some are still of the opinion that there should be
longer talks too.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Having been involved in DJUGL for a long time, I’ve found that running it quarterly keeps the interest and the level of speakers high. If it’s too often, the numbers drop
off and it’s harder to find speakers who are as keen as well as so many venues.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">For the next DJUGL which should be happening in early March (details to follow in the next couple of weeks) I’m planning two parts of the talks on the night, the first hour
will be lightning talks followed by one longer “headline speaker” talk to give everyone good variety.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I have a venue lined up, sponsorship is sorted and I’ll be speaking to some possible “headliners” in the next week.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">As this is going out to the UK mailing list, if anyone fancies delivering a lightning talk/headline speaking in March or at a future DJUGL, please shout.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">a very quick introduction for anyone who doesn't know me already: my name is Andrea, I'm a Python/Django developer and I moved to London less than 1 year ago.<br>
<br>
I usually attend Python-Dojo monthly and other events organized by DJUGL and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in organizing a monthly "ligthing talk" evening in London.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm writing this email to understand if there is enough interest, where we could host it and who we could ask to give these talks.<br>
<br>
I can volunteer for a couple of talks and with the organization of the event, I just hope to be at a good level for the audience that will attend this.<br clear="all">
