Lightning Talks are independent, community organized presentations that will take place during the first day of the ArabNet Developer Days.

Lightning Talks are short, fast-paced, 5-minute talks given by experienced developers, engineers, or designers from the community about a specific case-study or experience that they've encountered throughout their career.

We’re looking for proposals that relate to web or mobile development or design, from novice to advanced levels.

We especially welcome first-time speakers who would like to share their experience. If you know someone who has an interesting case-study that is valuable to the community, talk them into submitting a proposal!

We would also appreciate it if you can forward this to anyone you know who might be interested.

Submitted talks can be given either in English or in Arabic.
 

Sample subjects (includes, but not limited to):

Development:

- Arabizing open-source development tools (localization and/or internationalization)

- Enabling Arabic web development

- Handling and fixing Arabic language related issues/bugs in web and/or mobile development

- Freelancers Nightmares: dealing with clients

Design:
