The Lightning Talks session provides an opportunity for conference attendees to present new or ongoing work and cool ideas. Each talk is five to seven minutes long -- time enough for a one good idea and a few questions. In past years, this session has always been fun. If you would like to give a lightning talk, please send email to lightning-talks@python9.org. Speaker slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
