#Lighthing Talks

Lightning talks are 45 minute talks covering a topic or answering a question. Because you only have 45 minutes, you must prioritize what is the most important part of a topic.

Everyone will do a lightning talk every week. To volunteer for a talk:

1. Check if there are any open pull request to the guide for lightning talks. Merge these into master(on github).
2. Clone a copy of the this repo to your local machine (if you have previously cloned then pull the latest version of master).
3. Create a branch named "your-name-volunteers-for--talk-x-on-day-y"
4. Put your name in front of the talk title.
5. Submit a pull request! (and get someone else to merge it)
