==What is it?==

Five Minutes of Fame (5MoF) is an adaptation of CCC's Lightning Talks. Our implementation is ten five minute talks in an hour, with a short intermission so you can get another beer.

Check out these 30 seconds of fame excerpts for a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQUGQ3Plj-w

==When and where does it happen?==

Third Thursday of every month at 7pm/8pm, at Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St, San Francisco.



=== Five Minutes of Fame is happening again! And it'll stick this time! ===
'''''The next Five Minutes of Fame is:'' Thursday, July 16th, 8pm!'''

As if you needed ANY reminder, Five Minutes of Fame is Noisebridge's ADD
show-and-tell, squashing octets of human awesomeness into an hour like
booleans in a packed byte.

==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.
