Lightning talk comments:
Can we have like a hackathon to let people practice through their interview questions? Sort of like the speaker coaching that we did for TEDx talks - great idea. Good for community building, and good for personal development of the speakers.

[indiebio]

Do an end to end kind of sweep to find out the resources on how to do this - by practising with locals first. so added benefit is to streamline the resources required.

I just know I tried looking up something like that before and found the Community Virtual Library, which is linked to from metaverse libraries dot org but seems to be more specific to Second Life.
