Your request to give a lightning talk at the Open Hardware 
Mini-Conference has been accepted.

Title: "How the Open Hardware organizers can do much better, including 
registration sign-up, Call for Presentations and Lightning talks"

I'd highly recommend that discussing the problems and providing some 
practical solutions as part of your talk would be great !

The OHMC lightning talks run from 4:40 pm to 5:30 pm.  Will 5 minutes be 
enough ... or would you like 10 minutes ?

In all seriousness ... after we've fallen across the line on Monday at 
5:30 pm (we'll be a little tired by then) ... please feel welcome to 
catch up with me (and Jon) and share your thoughts and *some solutions* 
about your perceptions of what we need to improve and how.  Even if we 
get nothing else right, we do try our best to listen to positive 
critique and suggestions.

I've found the Linux Conference organizers and attendees to be fantastic 
people who tend to offer *real* help when they see someone else (like 
us) needs it.  Over the last 9 years and including 2019, we've had 
countless contributors, helpers and suggestions that have lifted us 
across the line.  And the OHMC attendees take the workshop as it comes 
and makes the most of it ... including our (not great) lightning talk 
process, which is mostly done informally, on-the-day.

Note: Our wiki and registration process includes information about CfP 
and Lightning talks ...

To all those organizing a Mini-Conference this year ... best of luck !  
See you on the other side :)

regards andyg
