Flashtalks
Flashtalks are short and tiny, often spontaneous introductions into a topic of your interest and/or a project you are / have been working on.
It can also be a “rant” or a story you want to tell. You can use a projector, but you can also go without. Another word for it - e.g. used in the c3-Context is lighning talks. There it is stated that it shouldn't be longer than 5mins, but the hillhacks-reality told us, that 10-15mins are also quite reasonable for such a small introduction.
We used this format already on plenty of the pre-events, and also on site at hillhacks 2014. There is unfortunately barely any documentation on them.
