[Omaha.pm] UNO Student Lightning Talks, Fall 2008

["Robert Fulkerson" <robert.fulkerson@gmail.com>]

Greetings everyone,

It's that time of year again.  :)

The Fall 2008 UNO CSCI 2850 (Programming on the Internet) class invites you to an evening of lightning talks on Perl programming, the Firefox web browser and other (mostly) web-related topics.

Lightning Talks are no longer than 5 minutes and can be about anything: a new idea, an evaluation, an observation, a story, a complaint, an explanation, a suggestion, a report of success or failure, a call to action, a description of a technique, technology, or a lament.

Usually we split the talks over two nights, but this semester it's going to be one, big solid night of talks.

• Where: Peter Kiewit Institute, Room 252 ( http://tinyurl.com/5g83cb )
  
• When: Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
