Additional background and context
Open Content is all about sharing. This is your chance to share in an unstructured way. Sometimes all you need is a few minutes to focus on your work to put it in perspective. Listening to a quick talk can spark ideas. Providing a snapshot into your work can stimulate longer discussions with others. You're the star - use the time to do what you think is important.
