The APRICOT 2008 call for lightning talks is now open!

and attend the Lightning Talks to be held:

If you've thought about presenting at a future APRICOT, a lightning talk
this year is a great place to start!

Talks on topics that are timely, interesting, or even a little crazy,
are invited. The APRICOT Programme Committee will evaluate all
submissions and choose the best eight. Talks must be relevant to the
APRICOT community:
