Definitely a good idea - provided that there's an obvious timer available to the presenter. Perhaps a "no interactive demos" rule would be good, as these always take more time than you'd imagine. For weeks with fewer than 3 talks, it might be nice to show videos from other events in that time slot(or from other Dojos etc.). _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
