>  *Lightning Talks* are your chance for 15 minutes of fame: every free or open
>  source project can apply for giving a lightning talk at FOSDEM.
>  Our goal is to offer all the projects that do not fit in a specific main
>  track or devroom the opportunity to speak. During exactly 15 minutes, one
>  person gets to present the project or any aspect of it. All the lightning
>  talks happen in a large room that can host up to 300 people.
>  
>  .... Before applying, note that:
>  
>    * Only existing open source projects will be considered,
>    * If the proposed talk would better fit a devroom, we will forward your
>      request to them,
>    * Projects that do not participate in the current or previous FOSDEM edition
>      will be favored over other ones.
>  
>  .... The lightning talks will follow the following procedure:
>  
>    * In order to guarantee a smooth speaker switch, the speaker should attend
>      the talk before his,
>    * A fixed computer will be used for all presentations: speakers have to send
>      in their presentation one week in advance,
>    * There will be a notorious clock that indicates the time the speaker has
>      left. When it rings after exactly 15 minutes, the speaker has one last
>      sentence to finish up...
>
