LIGHTNING ROUNDS
New feature. Have a topic you can present in 5 minutes (with 5 more minutes for questions)? The basic idea is there are patterns for developing sites the "drupal" way ("what would drupal do? etc."). Tell us a quick 5 minute recipe for how to put the Drupal "bricks" together. Theming techniques or other things may also be appropriate. Propose it below. Make sure you mention it is for the "lightning round" otherwise it might get confused with a longer presentation.
1) Feeds Module - mbouchard58
20-30 Min Talks
Have a topic that needs more then 5 minutes, we have slots of 20 minute talks. The basic idea is there are broader subjects or more detailed discussions this is the type of talk you would want to signup for, please mention 20 min talk when posting your talk description and the audience you expect to speak to.
1)960 Grid, Less & Bootstrapper - njmahesh
2)Multisite configurations - patrickavella
3)Building Conference sites with COD - topazz
Comments
Guys, I see only 2 people
Guys,
I see only 2 people (including me) signed up for the meetup this week which is not a good sign, also I don't see any one presenting for 5 min talk or 20 min slide. We can't run the meetup's like this, I know everyone is extremely busy with their work and personal life, its also important to support open source community and share our knowledge. We should have min 5 people to run the meetup, if I don't see it then I will have to cancel the meetup for this month.

Feeds Module
I'd be happy to present the Feeds Module in the lightning format.
Access denied
Hi Mahesh,

I've been holding out on offering to talk about anything because I'm hoping others will step up.

Put me down, in the lightning round, for:

Multisite Configuration
I'm sure I could talk at least 10 minutes about those things. I'm not sure if I'll have time to put together slides for a 20 minute talk, but if I do, I'll let you know.
In the event that we don't have enough people for a meeting, if anyone wants to have an informal meetup at a coffee shop or library, let me know and we'll all hang out.

Sounds good to me. I think I can actually scrounge up close to 20 minutes worth of multisite material, so put me down for a 20 minute talk on it.
