At an Ignite event, each speaker has 5 minutes to speak, and 20 slides that automatically rotate every 15 seconds.  At the O'Reilly Open Source Convention's first Ignite event, nine speakers covered the following topics, each in exactly 5 minutes:

• Hacking the Amazon Kindle
• Fun things you can do with textiles
• DIY projects for the handicapped
• Photographing open source
• Saving money through open source software
• How to be a better teacher
• Repairing a rigged election in Nigeria
• The Librarian Avengers film rating system
• and finally, how the semantic web will lead to an apocalyptic cyborg future
