Adjusting text since we're going to try this for real.
This One of the highlights of the Code4Lib annual meeting is the “lightning talk” rounds. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of the presenter’s choosing. They are usually scheduled on an idea for "Virtual Lightning Talks" ad-hoc, first- an occasional online event come-first-served basis on the day of lightning talksthe event. The basic idea:They are an opportunity to provide a platform for someone who is just getting started with public speaking, who wants to ask a question or invite people to help with a project, or for someone to boast about something he or she did or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up a full session timeslot.

Side comments and snark go in the IRC channel.* Speaker would or any other application that can be reminded of their time by audio tones: one each minute for shown on the first three minutes, one every 30 seconds until 30 seconds left, then one every 10 seconds, ending with an appropriate gong-like sound.* Recording talks and archiving them can be really helpful for those who aren't able to attenddesktop.
