[FOSS4G2016] [Program] Lightning Talks

I agree with Till related to the LT. An info text and possibility to submit via email it's perfect, in my opinion.

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.
