Re: interns' lightning talks at GUADEC

[Lasse Schuirmann <lasse schuirmann gmail com>]

Hello,

in order to have a consistent, gnomish, appearence I designed some
master slides. You can download an example presentation including them
from here:

https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2014/LightningTalks/SlideDesign

Feel free to use or not use them for any presentation you give on GUADEC.

Thanks Marina for taking the time to organize all these things and
review these slides!

Greetings,

Lasse Schuirmann (sils)

> 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.
