Hello, World!
I met this amazing project on April 2nd and immediately started to think about what kind of theme I should bring.
First of all, watching the previous editions of Lighting Talks I found a great range of topics and so many interested people I'd love to talk more about the matter they have brought.
For this edition, I'd like to invite more people to join such a great experience to challenge themselves, like me. I'm terrible at public speaking, especially when I'm talking about tech cause I feel so small and everything I say sounds wrong in my head. By now, I'd like to overcome this by bringing a brief introduction to what Linux is and what it isn't, what is Kernel, why the comparisons with Windows and Mac are strange and meaningless, the importance of open source, and how we end up using it daily without even being aware of it.
Is this topic a good choice for the challenge?
If you don't know what I'm talking about you can find more information in this post.

My first time talking to the public was at a Campus Party, 28 years old, and I was a wreck, torn between "no one will come to this panel" and "thousands will come and I will make something stupid".
In the end, everything went fine, and I returned for 4 years straight and got invited to other events. The gut-wrecking feeling disappeared, you may ask? Of course not, but we learn how to deal with it. XP makes you achieve new levels, new levels mean extra points to spend on new skills.
I think it's a really good choice to talk about, it's crazy how people don't get how Open Source surrounds them and how much it influences their lives.
Here are a few tips:
Wow, those are incredible tips! I truly don't have words to thank you for your dedication and time to write such great content. You do tranquilize my heart about many things, especially about my topic choice. I loved the meme and I'll use some icebreaker thing. I won't give up!
