[omaha] Any agreement for meeting topic for next week

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Well since no one has forwarded a major talk, maybe Lightning Talks.
What is a lightning talk, you ask?

It would be great if we could get 3 or 4 people to commit to giving a
shorter format talk.  They are much easier to prepare, you don't have to be
an expert in the subject, just passionate.  The goal of a successful
lightning talk is to generate interest in the subject matter.  We could put
a 10 minute hard time limit on each talk.  Talk about anything even
tangentially associated with Python.  Do you like Project Euler -- you've
can have 10 minutes to introduce it to others who may not have heard or
know very little about it.  Do you know about a useful library -- 5 to 10
minutes is a great way to let others know about it.

If you haven't given a talk before, you couldn't find a better group and
format for your first.   Sounds like fun right, so who's first?
