I don't mean this as a blow off of your comments, because I appreciate
them. I just want to say that this talk style is based off the PyCon
"Lightning Talks", which are 5 minutes in length. The whole point is to
distill it down to it's essence. Now, some people have said that preparing
for a 5 minute talk is harder than preparing for a 30 minute talk because
of this.
20 minutes is definitely an option, I just wanted to mention this.
Thanks,
Sean
