Talk:Lightning Talk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Origin

The Python conference was having short talks (7 minutes long, I think) in this format prior to 2000. But the name "Lightning Talks" is original with me and as far as I know it was not used before YAPC 19100.

The Python folks subsequently adopted the name, but I believe they had the idea first, although I didn't know this at the time.
