Does anyone want to give a talk? This is your chance to get on stage!

Every 4th Thursday we're doing Lightning Talks! (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ksh2ZW9i6OwSLYDMHqk8wkd-9eF2mmMomWwkkX4-ec4/edit#gid=0)!

**What is a Lightning Talk?**

A lightning talk... ... is a 5-minute talk on any topic (as long as its not a marketing pitch.) ... can be given by anyone, even someone totally new to Python! (Share your experiences learning Python!) ... often about something cool you just learnt or some open source software you wrote. ... but doesn't need slides & doesn't even need to be prepared! ... but doesn't even need to be about Python or about something technical (as long as its not a pitch)!
