For a Lightning Talk\, you don't need to make slides\, and if you do decide to make slides\, you only need to make three.\n\nMayb e you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to pl an and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And i f you do mess up\, at least the painful part will be over quickly.\n\nMayb e you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or i nvite people to help you with your project\, or boast about something you did\, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting a nd worth talking about\, but there might not be enough to say about them t o fill up thirty minutes.\n\nMaybe you have a lot of things to say\, and y ou're already going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't wan t to hog the spotlight. There's nothing wrong with giving several Lightnin g Talks. Hey\, they're only five minutes.\n\nOn the other side\, people mi ght want to come to a lightning talk when they wouldn't come to a long tal k on the same subject. The risk for the attendees is smaller: If the talk turns out to be dull\, or if the person giving the talk turns out to be a really bad speaker\, well\, at least it's over in five minutes. With light ning talks\, you're never stuck in some boring lecture for forty-five minu tes.\n\nStill having trouble picking a topic\, here are some suggestions:\ n\n 1. Why my favorite module is X.\n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyone want to help?\n 3. Successful Project: I did project X. It w as a success. Here's how you could benefit.\n 4. Failed Project: I did p roject X. It was a failure\, and here's why.\n 5. Heresy: People always say X\, but they're wrong. Here's why.\n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong with the our community.\n 7. Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X.\n 8. Wouldn't it be cool if X?\n 9. Someone needs to d o X.\n 10. Wish List\n 11. Why X was a mistake.\n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\, but isn't.\n 13. What it's like to do X.\n 14. Here's a usef ul technique that worked.\n 15. Here's a technique I thought would be use ful but didn't work.\n 16. Why algorithm X sucks.\n 17. Comparison of al gorithms X and Y. \n\nOf course\, you could give the talk on anything you wanted\, whether or not it is on this list. If we get a full schedule of n othing but five minutes of ranting and raving on each topic\, a good time will still be had by most.

For a Lig htning Talk\, you don't need to make slides\, and if you do decide to make slides\, you only need to make three.\n\nMaybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up\, at least the painful part will be over quickly.\n\nMaybe you don't have much to say . Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or invite people to help you wit h your project\, or boast about something you did\, or tell a short cautio nary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about\, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.\n\ nMaybe you have a lot of things to say\, and you're already going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't want to hog the spotlight. Ther e's nothing wrong with giving several Lightning Talks. Hey\, they're only five minutes.\n\nOn the other side\, people might want to come to a lightn ing talk when they wouldn't come to a long talk on the same subject. The r isk for the attendees is smaller: If the talk turns out to be dull\, or if the person giving the talk turns out to be a really bad speaker\, well\, at least it's over in five minutes. With lightning talks\, you're never st uck in some boring lecture for forty-five minutes.\n\nStill having trouble picking a topic\, here are some suggestions:\n\n 1. Why my favorite mod ule is X.\n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyone want to help?\n 3. Successful Project: I did project X. It was a success. Here's how you could benefit.\n 4. Failed Project: I did project X. It was a failure\, and here's why.\n 5. Heresy: People always say X\, but they're wrong. H ere's why.\n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong with the our communit y.\n 7. Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less of X.\n 8. Would n't it be cool if X?\n 9. Someone needs to do X.\n 10. Wish List\n 11. Why X was a mistake.\n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\, but isn't.\n 13 . What it's like to do X.\n 14. Here's a useful technique that worked.\n 15. Here's a technique I thought would be useful but didn't work.\n 16. Why algorithm X sucks.\n 17. Comparison of algorithms X and Y. \n\nOf cou rse\, you could give the talk on anything you wanted\, whether or not it i s on this list. If we get a full schedule of nothing but five minutes of r anting and raving on each topic\, a good time will still be had by most.

And yet\, from the poin t of view of adoption its use is mostly under-the-radar.\n\nCould there be a Perl/P5EE that could compete with Java/J2EE or C#/.Net for mainstream c orporate adoption? The answer to that question is a solid "maybe." But w hat is clear is that if it does happen it will /not/ be the result of a ch ange in Perl-the-technology. The evolution that needs to happen here is c ultural within the Perl community.\n\nI will talk about what a corporate-f riendly culture within the Perl community might look like\, how it has hap pened within other Open Source technologies that have achieved ready accep tance and recognition beyond just their own communities\, and how The Perl Foundation can play a part in this evolution.
