[[Category:Upcoming Events]]


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?==
'''Next event:''' [[5MoF/2025/09 18]](Next 5mof will probably still happen even if this link is in the past)


Third Thursday of every month at 8pm, at Noisebridge.
'''Prev event:''' [[5MoF/2025/08 21]]


===August 18th it's on!===
'''Template for 5MoF:''' [[5MOF_Template|5 MoF Template]]


==Why are we doing this?==
==What is Five Minutes of Fame?==
Five Minutes of Fame (5MoF) is ten five minute talks in an hour, with a short intermission so you can get another beer.
Talks tend to be ad-hoc, poorly-planned, and awe-inspiring.


There are many reasons:
==How do I sign up to give a talk?==
* It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at Noisebridge -- no need to sit through long lectures.
Sign up to speak by following the link above, clicking "edit", and adding yourself to the list.
* 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.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism#Law_of_Fives "The Law of Fives"]


==How can I participate?==
==When and Where?==
5MoF happens [[Getting_here|at Noisebridge, 272 Capp St, San Francisco]] every 3rd Thursday of the month at 8pm.

==Other Questions==
<categorytree hideroot="true" mode="pages">5MoF/2023</categorytree>


Can anyone attend or speak?
* (many other 5mofs happened even if we didn't make a wiki page for them)


:''There are a limited number of slots for speakers, and members or regulars are given priority to speak about the projects they are working on. Although there are substitutes for people don't show, schedule early to be assured your 5MoF!''
== 2022 ==


What if I show up late?
<categorytree hideroot="true" mode="pages">5MoF/2022</categorytree>


:''If you are giving a talk, please notify me so we can rearrange the schedule. If you want to see a talk that you're going to miss, find the person who gave it and chat with them for five minutes :)''
