If you're genuinely presenting an advanced topic on Puppet *at* PuppetConf, you don't need the same level of intro materials as you do at a more general conference, and I'd be really surprised if 45 min (plus being able to eat into your QA time) isn't sufficient. It's hugely confusing at larger conferences to have multiple different time-slots for talks, and makes timetabling and responding to last minute changes super difficult. I'm happy to chat to anyone off-list about their specific submissions and ways to build an informative yet tight talk of any level in the given time slots. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
