[OKC JUG] November Lightning Talks

[Jason Lee]

We're only a week away from our lightning talks.  Here is the current  
line up (note that participants can and order almost certainly will  
change):

Brent - JSF 2
Derek - ???
Shane Kempton - Software Bill of Rights
Ryan - Biography of Duke
Mitch Blevins - Automatic test data generation
Grzegorz Bugaj - JSFConsole
Ash - Google App Engine
Scott - JavaFX
Chad Gorshing - How to write untestable code
Les Martin - ???
Forrest Humphrey - Mule ESB

If you'd like to get on the list, we can probably squeeze in a couple  
more.  For those already committed, please remember that the deadline  
for slides is this Friday, as we need time to get the logistics worked  
out for the actual presentation.
