[Themaintainers] Join our first Maintainers Lightning Round Talk - Submissions due Dec. 8th!

[The Maintainers Steering Committee]

Hello!

We are curating an online Maintainers Lightning Talk Session and are
looking for *submissions of interest <https://forms.gle/zpGGUGnx8T5UhSkKA>
to give a concise 5-minute presentation focused on advancing maintenance,
repair, and care*. We are calling on our Maintainers community which
includes interdisciplinary change-makers, researchers, practitioners, and
every-day people who center maintenance, repair, and care and the myriad
forms of labor, expertise, and infrastructure that sustain our human built
world.  In-progress work is also okay!  You can learn more about and what a
lightning talk is here <https://libguides.usc.edu/LightningTalks>.

This is a rolling submission form that the Maintainers will review
quarterly.  Below are key dates for our next (and first!) Lightning Talks:

   - Our next Lightning Talk will be on *January 8th, 2026 from
   9:30-10:30am EST / 8:00-9:00pm IST. *
   - Fill out the submission of interest form
   <https://forms.gle/zpGGUGnx8T5UhSkKA> by *December 8th, 2025*.
   - We will reach out to you by *December 19th, 2025* if you are chosen to
   present during our next round.

You can learn more about the Maintainers here <https://themaintainers.org/> and

Take care,

The Maintainers Steering Committee
