Five Minutes of Fame

2011-08-21T00:38:16Z

24.7.90.7: /* When and Where does it happen? */

==What is it?==

Five Minutes of Fame (5MoF) is an adaptation of CCC's Lightning Talks. The idea is that we have ten 5 minute talks within an hour. Talks can be shorter, but not longer, than five minutes.

==When and Where does it happen?==

Third Thursday of every month at 8pm, at Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St, San Francisco.

===September 15th it's on!===

==Why are we doing this?==

There are many reasons:
* It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at Noisebridge -- no need to sit through long lectures.
* Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out. Maybe they need help, maybe they want to propose an idea to the Noisebridge community.
* Some people are shy to public speaking and want to practice without giving an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way to try it out, in a community of peers.
* San Francisco is the mecca for startups. If you're trying to sell your idea to someone, you need to be able to explain it in five minutes or less.
