– Attendees are welcome to present a firetalk (5-10 minutes) on a topic of their choosing. Sign-ups for talks will be available at the meet-up. If you don’t sign up but there is free time and you have a topic you’d like to discuss, feel free to head up to the podium.
NOTE: Giving a talk is optional and not a requirement. You can also just hang out and socialize.
