The regular FOSDEM lightning talk track isn't chaotic enough, so this year we're doubling down on Lightning Lightning Talks (now with added lightning!).

Thought of a last minute topic you want to share? Got your interesting talk rejected? Has something exciting happened in the last few weeks you want to talk about?

This is the first of two sessions for participants to speak about subjects which are interesting, amusing, or just something the FOSDEM audience would appreciate.

Selected speakers line up and present in one continuous automated stream, with an SLO of 99% talk uptime.

Presenters who attempt to speak for longer than 256 seconds risk being swept off the stage by our Lightning Lightning Talk Cleanup Crew.
