I think thats the link that started this thread. Jason/Hannah/I had collaborated on the announcement there. The concern you, Lan and Ken had raised was that it linked to the CFP which didn't mention UpSCALE instructions specifically.
I was hoping for specific edits or feedback on how we can address your concerns on the CFP page being confusing.

Hi...
Jason Hibbits already put up a notice about the UpSCaLE talks on Monday. It is right on the main page with a link to more detailed information about it. https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/blog/call-lightning-talks
The only suggestion I would have for this is adding that the slide deck is to have 20 slides and that they will be automatically advanced at the rate of one every 15 seconds.

If someone sends a gist or google doc with changes to make the CFP page more generic I'm happy to discuss and see how to pull it in. I don't however want to make a different instructions page for every single group that has events at SCALE.

This is the call for submissions, not the requirements for the slide forms, etc which are sent by email to the individuals who are accepted rather than on the website.

I've done a couple of UpSCALE talks in the past. I looked on past years pages but couldn't find the old instructions. I do remember it was Gareth's project and that we had to get our slide deck to him by a certain deadline so he could get the whole thing ready to go before the event. Also, as I recall, we only needed to submit a title in advance (maybe with a clarifying sub-title). The deadline to get the decks in was very close to the actual opening of SCaLE.
It seems having a separate instruction for it this year might clarify it for folks. You should be able to fit in 7 - 8 talks (that is what was done in prior years).
