Er.  I just read the thing out loud, and it's shortish.  But I can't
think of anything more to say.

What subjects would you like to hear me babble on about?

Please answer quickly.

Make sure that there are opportunities for questions etc.

Have you done a bit on where gnus will go in the future, such as mention
of current development and other things you'd like to see it do in the
future?

There is nothing so appreciated as a talk than was shorter than
expected. :) Always leave your audience wanting more.  Show the manual
again.  Read selected passages from the manual.  Point out a typo or
two. Slowly and solemnly read the list of contributors to the project,
like you're handing out diplomas.  "I'd like to thank each and every
one of the following people ... " :)

I've found that if I pace something in my hotel room, it's always
about 20% longer in the presentation room.  But that's just my
calibration.

  Perhaps a short interpretive dance detailing your feelings towards Emacs,
Gnus, and the ergonomics of each? :)

Perhaps you could give a stiring rendition of `Emacs Boy'.
