Lightning talks

Add your 3-5 minute lightning talk here! Lightning talks may cover a wide range of topics related to Misplaced Pages, 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 each in the Lightning Talks A and Lightning Talks B timeslots. Topics may be subject to review by event volunteers, so signing up here doesn't guarantee you'll go on.
