Lightning Talks at the UnConference

The upcoming JA-SIG UnConference will include time for lightning talks. A lightning talk is a short (~10 minutes, shorter is totally okay, think fast like greased lightning) presentation. Conference participants are strongly encouraged to prepare their own lightning talk and to share ideas for lightning talks they would like to hear (with a whole wiki page devoted to this).

Talks already likely to flash and boom in New Brunswick include remarks on greatness by Board director and uPortal project liason Bill Thompson, exposition of advanced guest layout techniques by new Board director Susan Bramhall, and elucidation of Maven2 by uPortal Steering Committee member Eric Dalquist. Other topics in the mix include user attributes in CAS 3.1, SpringPortletMVC, Fluid, administrative switch user functionality...

Please jump in and suggest lightning talk topics for which the applause will be thunderous.
