There's a checkbox in the speaker submissions form labeled "Previously Presented?". Does ticking this signify that I've given the talk some else before or that I've spoken at codemash before? I can think of reasons why either piece of information may be relevant.

For 2013 would it be too much to also ask where it was presented? A talk given at Codepalusa may not be as novel to the crowd as one given in a major national conference in Brisbane Australia or to a users group in Albuquerque.
Also, I notice there is no "presentation details" section where the submitter can provide more details to the selection committee. This seems to be an awesome place to add the previously presented information such as where and when. I do realize that it often turns into selection committee pleadings where the world is promised and a globe shaped stress ball is delivered. Am I to presume that the absence is also deliberate?

-- ------------------------------------------------------ Definition of Recursion: see Recursion.
Fellow conference organizer here, though no role with CodeMash and definitely not speaking on their behalf..
When we score a session for php|tek in Chicago, generally originally is good *or* a repeat with zero audience overlap.
If you gave it at a recent European conference, probably not an issue. If you gave it at a Ruby conference in LA, probably not an issue. If you gave it at your local user group meeting, excellent.
If you gave it two months earlier at another PHP conference.. not so good.

OK, I think we've got a good bit of feedback here - we'll make sure to update that text to be clearer for next year.
Sorry for the confusion this year!

I also took it to mean the wrong thing. I assumed it was asking if I had presented at CodeMash before.
