+to talk about?

+We have two sessions for participants to speak about subjects which are
+interesting, amusing, or just something the FOSDEM audience would appreciate:

+- [Saturday](/2026/schedule/event/CNPVJL-lightning_lightning_talks_1/)
+- [Sunday](/2026/schedule/event/G3ZWYU-lightning_lightning_talks_2/)
+
+Selected speakers line up and present in one continuous automated stream, with
+an SLO of 99% talk uptime.

+To submit your talk for this session, make sure you meet some standards:
+
+- will be presented in less than or equal to 256 seconds (very strict time limit!)
+- slides created in .pdf format
+- nothing too offensive
+- about something FOSDEM attendees would appreciate
+
+Reviews will be done on a rolling basis until the evening before each session
+(so friday evening for the saturday session, saturday evening for the sunday
+session). There will be some priority given to entertaining and lighthearted
+talks (until we have too many and need something serious to balance them out).
