In addition to having two 15 minute main talks, one of the things we've decided to have a go at (idea 100% stolen from Oxford Geek Night) are some 'micro-slots'. These are rapid-fire five minute talks covering a brief introduction to a topic.

I'm pleased to announce that Dom Green is our first confirmed micro-slot speaker.

What Is Windows Azure?

Dominic Green (Microsoft)

What is Windows Azure? How will cloud computing change how we develop applications, manage our IT infrastructure, or even set up an online business?

This whirl-wind talk will introduce Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform.

we'll have three 5 minute slots in total. I'm planning on putting together a 5 min slot of my own (am hoping inspiration strikes soon), so there's just one microslot left - if you fancy talking about something for 5 mins in front of a friendly audience then do get in contact.
