Lightning talks

Add your 3-5 minute lightning talk here! Lightning talks may cover a wide range of topics related to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and the larger free culture movement, although we ask that lightning talks aren't used to promote or sell products and services. We have space on the schedule for ~5 lightning talks in the Dweck Cultural Center timeslot, though there may also be secondary slots available at other spaces/times. Topics may be subject to review by event volunteers, so signing up here doesn't guarantee you'll go on.
