The schedule for the International Lisp Conference has been posted. Registration will open shortly.
If you have any interesting in giving a short/lightning talk, you’ll be able to sign up for that at the conference. You might want to let me know, too, but you need not.
A short talk can be on anything bearing on Lisp, Scheme, or related languages. It need not be on a profound topic or a research project. It can be as simple as:
- Here’s a good application that we wrote in Lisp.
- Here’s a useful Lisp library that you might want to know about.
- Here are some interesting things about my Lisp development tool.
- I have this provocative/outrageous opinion.
- Please give me feedback about this idea.
- Alice and I will debate the following point.
The ideal duration is five minutes, but the talk could be extremely short, or up to about ten minutes. There’s no Q and A immediately afterwards. You can meet up with interested people later to continue talking, answer questions, etc.
This is an informative web page about short/lightning talks in general, and this is a longer one with advice. But all you have to do is talk for a little while, so don’t worry.
I hope you can come to the conference!
