PSU-DUG COMMUNICATION
To be able to foster this community, we need to maintain open, clear, and consistent information that ensures information gets to the far reaches of our very large community (Penn State). As such, we will be using several forms of communication to make sure that we are heard. These are the ones that we are planning to use:

FORMAT
LIGHTNING TALKS
These fast presentations are intended to showcase something that you have been working with in your sites. This could be a problem for which you are searching for an answer, or it could be the solution that you finally found. Presentations are limited to five minutes in length. The intention is to have about five or six of these presentations at each meeting. When deciding on your content for a lightning presentation, aiming for a shorter presentation with time for questions later is better.
