The goal of the lightning talks was not primarily to provide a
opportunity for a "topic that just doesn't seem like it can hold the
group's interest for an hour", though this is also important.  It was
also to provide a chance to introduce new topics and get an idea about
what people are interested in, preferably as a precursor to a full talk.
 I would like to try and avoid situations like "good presentation but we
already knew all about X and would have liked to hear more about Y", or
"if we had known you were going to be focusing on X we could setup a
demo for you", or "you might have been better to focus on X because it
is important and difficult to understand".  Obviously making a wiki page
describing what you will be presenting will also help with this to some
degree but I think a quick talk will inspires much more useful feedback.

Anyway lets see how we go.  While I would like to have more Lightning
talks this time, if we can't find more interested speakers, the current
schedule looks good.
