Laura Thomson is reporting back over on her blog with the latest from her experiences at this year's OSCON, mentioning today the "Lightening Talks" that she and George Schlossnagle are doing on Wednesday.

On Wednesday George and I are moderating the PHP Lightning talks at OSCON. The Perl ones have been running for years and are a lot of fun.

If you have something PHP related to talk about, please come and talk to us about it. The talks are really short (5 minutes) and minimal preparation is required. If you have never given a conference talk before, this is a great way to start. Or, if you've given lots of talks but really need to rant about something, this is your opportunity.

If you're there and have a topic you'd like to hear about during the talks, drop them a line at lightningtalks-oscon2006@omniti.com with the topic and a short summary.
