==When and Where does it happen?==
Second Thursday of every month at 8pm, at PS:One.
This means the next event will be on February 9th, 2010 at 8pm.
==Why are we doing this?==
* It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at PS:One -- no need to sit through long lectures.
* Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out. Maybe they need help, maybe they want to propose an idea to the PS:One community.
* Some people are shy to public speaking and want to practice without giving an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way to try it out, in a community of peers.
* These days, many of us are becoming entrepreneurs to one extent or another. If you're trying to sell your idea to someone, you need to be able to explain it in five minutes or less.

==How can I participate?==
Easy - sign up to give a talk! Contact Anne (@onthelevel on twitter's the easiest way) or Laurie.
Include your name (or handle), talk title, your website/url (optional), and a short description.
If you're doing slides, right now we'll have to ask you to bring your own equipment. The space doesn't have its own projector at this point.
