Hello Marina,

Thank you for your understanding !

Please write back by Monday, July 9 to confirm your attendance if you are on this list and tell us what the title for your talk should be. Also, please let us know if you are attending GUADEC, but are not on this list. We would like the current GSoC and OPW interns, as well as the OPW interns from December to March round who are attending GUADEC to do lightning talks at the session.

For accommodations, if the Foundation is sponsoring your lodging, select "I will arrange my own accommodation" (the Foundation will arrange it for you). You can optionally fill out a Roommate field if you had agreed to share a room with a particular person. It's important that you are registered for GUADEC so that the conference organizers can find you in the system and add you to the interns' lightning talk session. We will submit your talks for you, so you don't need to submit them individually.

(If you are using LibreOffice, you can use File -> Export as PDF... to convert slides to .pdf format.) You can have up to 3 slides with text/screenshots, and optionally up to 2 more slides with screenshots and only a short caption. Please include your name, project(s), and program(s) on the first slide. Please practice to be sure you can complete your presentation in under 3 minutes.
