In addition to the regular talks (see the schedule) Wikimania 2008 will offer lightning talks and posters. Posters will be displayed all conference days in the multi-purpose hall, so everyone can have a look at it in the time he or she wants. During the afternoon break at day 2, 2008-07-18 between 15:00-16:00 there is a special poster session. At this time the authors of the posters will be at their poster to answer questions.
