<body><div>I think we should keep lightning talks as part of the day program, and leave a potential GeoRabble as something seperate. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This way we can fit more in, have control on what's included and include talks that won't meet the GeoRabble requirements. (GeoRabble is meant to be vendor neutral and that includes open source vendors) </div>

<div> We've mentioned that we might set up a Georabble night, and maybe
combine it with delegates from the ESRI day. <br></div>
<div> Has anyone reached out to the Georabble community in Melbourne
yet? Do we have a contact for such a person (maybe they are on
this list already?) Maybe we could invite the Georabble community
to organise lightning talks and georabble talks together?<br></div>

<div>+1 for putting them in the program/call for papers, and
filling them up on the day if required.<br></div>

<div>While it *might* be a bit simpler right now to leave
them out of the call for papers, I feel it adds one more
thing to organise on the run during the conference, and I
suspect we will have plenty to do.<br></div>

<div>I'd prefer to see these included in the program, even
though they are only 5 minutes, speakers would still need to
prepare, so I they might run better if committed to prior to
the conference. Good for speakers since they know they'll get
a spot or not.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Still fine to allow some time for any last minute additions
if there's space.<br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>I wanted to put past you my thoughts around lightning
talks.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>What I suggest we do is the following:<br></div>
<div><ul><li>Set aside a stream in the afternoon on the first
day for lightning talks<br></li><li>Set up a board somewhere prominent where people
put their names up to present a lightning talk (5
minutes max)<br></li><li>There's a limit to the number of talks, probably
12 so that it fits in the session lenght<br></li><li>That session is hopefully dynamic and fun and just
a little bit chaotic!<br></li></ul><div><br></div>
</div>
<div>I'd be happy to moderate the lightning talks. I think
it will provide something interesting and different.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The alternate is to include them in the CfP, but I
think it better to keep that simple.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm very interested in your views!<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cheers,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Alex<br></div>
