interns' lightning talks at GUADEC

[Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz redhat com>]

Dear interns,

Every year, we have an interns' lightning talks session at GUADEC, which is a very popular event. You will 
likely have 3 minutes allocated during which you will be able to present your work using no more than 5 
slides.

Sometimes interns hesitate about doing the talk because they've never done one before or English is their 
second language. I'd like to assure you it will be the friendliest and most supportive environment to make 
your speaking debut and English is a second language for the majority of GUADEC attendees. GSoC admins, your 
mentors, or other interns will usually be happy to help you rehearse your talk at some earlier point during 
GUADEC. Interns also typically enjoy having an opportunity to speak about their project after going to many 
talks by other people. You can watch the video of the interns' lightning talks session from last year to see 
what it was like: http://www.superlectures.com/guadec2013/interns-lightning-talks

To finalize how much time we need for the session and how much time we can allocate per talk, we need to know 
who among you is planning to attend GUADEC. I'm aware of the following interns planning to attend. Please let 
me know in the next few days if your plans change or if you are attending, but I'm missing you on the list.
