Correct. We targetted about 20 minutes for a presentation, giving 5 mins for
people to exit, 5 to enter (incl the presenters setup time). As we figured
there may be more interest than the 30-35 wot will fit in the room, we allowed
an extra 1/2 hr for a possible repeat presentation.

Jeremy & I will be doing a live install every hour or so, given interest, as a
demo, NOT a presentation. We will be using Mandrake, I don't see a problem of
alternating Fedora/Mandrake, or even two separate install demos, tho that may
be a bit over the top.

The extra 1/2 hr & increased no of presentations has squeezed time a bit. If
any presenter want to take the full hour for a single presentation, that is up
to them- my preference is KISS (& brief), but it isn't an edict.

Nope. Not really. I'd sooner see a PC set up for a demo, rather than add
presentations.
