I agree with the english requirement for the slides, even though I'm french
:-)

I also think JF is on to something here. Making a 30-60 minutes presentation
is a lot of work, as I found out when I prepared for my JRuby presentation
:-). So allowing quickies may tempt more of us to make presentations. (It's
worth it)

Also, as someone mentioned at the pub yesterday, the resulting hour long
presentations can drag a little bit. (I hope my JRuby presentation wasn't
too bad, last November :-)

5-10 minute presentations showing little snippets of code, Ruby idioms or
small Rails plugins could also be good interludes between two beefier
presentations. Or we could even go crazy once in a while and have 5 or 8
different 10 minute presentations :-) This may involve too much overhead,
however (e.g. setting up the equipment).

Cheers,

Mat
