[Jeremy Llewellyn]

Five Minutes of Fame is a series of ten, five minute lightning talks from
the Noisebridge and San Francisco community. 5mof is an entertaining, fast
paced event that should run about an hour. Click here
<https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Five_Minutes_of_Fame_2017_02_16> to see the
list of speakers and titles.

Previous 5 minute talks have included things like: “Controlling Flame
Effects with MIDI and the Web”, “Python book for kids”, “C-41 Process: How
Color Film Works”.

Come to this event if you’re up to hearing awesome people talk about the
projects or ideas that has captivated their attention recently.

All are welcome! Friends, family, lovers, acquaintances, neighbors,
squares, hipsters, geeks, nerds, dorks, veterans, first-timers.

*This week is different: *Since restarting 5MoF, roughly three quarters of
talks have been given by men. We want to give others a chance to talk at
5MoF. The intent this week is to highlight Noisebridge's commitment to a
more welcoming space, so there will be *no men speaking this Thursday*. We
also want to be explicit about our support for *trans and nonbinary people*
.

*Where is it?*

2169 Mission St, San Francisco
<http://maps.google.com/?q=2169+Mission+Street,+94110> (Third Floor)

2 blocks South of 16th & Mission BART


*When is it?*

Feb 16th, 2017 8-9pm


*Why is it cool?*

It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at Noisebridge.
No need to sit through long lectures.
Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute
or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out.
Some people are shy to public speaking and want to practice without giving
an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way
to try it out, in a community of peers.


*Why should you on the announce list come?*

This is the time and place to see what your SF hacker community is
investing their cycles in.
