Find Lightning Talk Presenters for Jan Meetup (1/11) #35

Closed mateoclarke closed 8 years ago

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

We need to find a speaker for our January meetup. Open to suggestions...

UPDATED: Looking for 5-6 short (5-10min) presentations from community members. Can be any topic, sharing a story, skillshare, or lessons learned.

luqmaan commented 8 years ago

Maybe somebody from http://civicanalytics.com/? I don't know anything about them other than austin + civic, so they may not be a good fit.

Can we open an issue for finding/suggesting speakers in general?

amaliebarras commented 8 years ago

I still think it'd be cool to hear from someone from community impact, statesman, or tribune working on data apps. Does anyone know people working in that space personally?

mateoclarke commented 8 years ago

At our core team huddle, we decided to go with Lighting Talks from the community. We're all going to reach out to a couple people.

Going to save the ideas above for future events in #46.

JAN 11: Lighting Talks

Contact(ed/ing):

If you're still looking for lightning talks, I think I could easily talk 10 minutes about "Free law on the web." That would cover resources for downloading law under an open license, metadata standards for organizing it, and maybe lessons learned from the Open Austin Bill Tracker project.

Awesome! I haven’t yet heard from Angela, (reached out again via email) so if she doesn’t respond this could fill that slot.

@mscarey That sounds awesome! Let's plan on adding you to the lineup! (Sorry for the delaying in responding. Just back back from my holiday vacation abroad.)

Think we're good on presenters, just need to confirm lightning talk names. Going to close this issue for now.
