</head><body style=""><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Hi Till, hi Volker, hi all,<br> <br> I really love the concept of lightning talks, but as Till wrote a LT has to be more than just a short talk. So I agree that it might be a good idea to have an info text what is expected by a LT and separate the LT proposals from the normal talk proposals. The submission by mail might give a bit higher boundary instead of just checking a radio button in the normal cfp system. <br> <br> For the slots: I would prefer the LTs to be a part of the plenary session instead of having a separate LT session.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> Chris</span></div>
