There are talks from last time people wanted to hear about but didn't get
any speakers for here:

Maybe people could update this list along with the dates etc ?

> The long-promised reprise of the SWLUG Lightning Talks has arrived,
> albeit at rather shorter notice than was hoped for.  Thanks go to the
> Cardiff School of Computer Science <http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/>, who are

>
> The event itself will be on Tuesday 7th February 2006, in the
> Trevithick Building, The Parade, Cardiff <http://tinyurl.com/8aefs>,
> 7pm for prompt 7.30pm start.  This will be a ground-floor location,
> near to the regular Cardiff meeting venue, the Ernest Willows.
>
> The evening will follow a similar format to the first event in
> Swansea, with a dozen or so talks on a variety of topics, with
> optional drinks afterwards.
>
> Any potential speakers not familiar with the concept of these talks
> may find the following introduction useful.  Timekeeping won't be
> overly strict, so don't worry if your talk works out to 5 minutes and
> 10 seconds.  <http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html>

> Another useful resource is the lists of talks given at the last event,
> those offered and not given, and those wanted but not offered.
> Remember, your talk does not need to be specific to Linux, nor
> particularly technical.  You could talk about a niche topic, or cover
> something more mainstream.

> Talked About But Never Actually Got Around To Doing(TM).

> Hope to see you all there.  Thanks for your support,
