And if you're pondering giving one, here's a page that may prove
useful: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html

The talks can be on absolutely anything related to Linux. eg,
  - 11 VIM keystrokes you've always wanted to know.
  - Why Ubuntu is the way of the future.
  - Creepy things you can (but probably shouldn't) do with iptables.
  - Why you should keep your homedir in a subversion repository.
  - Desktop Publishing with Scribus.
  - Prettifying your machine's hibernation process.

Google offers many more ideas for lightning talks too!

If you have the urge to stand up and speak, email
committee at plug.org.au and let us know.

Bernard.
