The CFP page mentions duration of talks as 40 minutes. I remember having discussion at PyDelhi or BangPypers mailing list that 40 minutes talks are too long, too boring, shorter duration (20 minutes) talks will allow more people to speak and will force the speakers to keep things crisp. Can someone from the organizing team brief about reasons on the decision on duration of talks? On 23 March 2016 at 01:49, Peeyush Aggarwal <peeyushaggarwal94@gmail.com> wrote:

+1 for decreasing talk time from 40 to 20 minutes . It really becomes cumbersome. On Mar 23, 2016 3:37 AM, "Harsh Gupta" <gupta.harsh96@gmail.com> wrote:

I feel there is a place for both. In previous editions there were lightning talks of 10 minutes. Probably it's good idea to have brief talks for 20 minutes. On Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 12:52 PM, mohd sanad zaki rizvi < mohdsanadzakirizvi@gmail.com> wrote:

I think keeping talks of two different time durations won't be too helpful. * It introduces the overhead of deciding which talk gets how much time. That can only be done after a detailed discussion between the user and the reviewers. Now this itself is a long shot since most people aren't too good at following up on proposal feedback. * Shorter talks are better for two reasons: if a talk is bad, the audience doesn't suffer for too long, and if it is good, the speaker will know how to make their impact even in 20 minutes. * Shorter talks also allow us to include more talks, so everyone is happier. * Lightning talks should be of five minutes. As it is, these talks are not planned and speakers invariably overshoot their time bounds. So a ten minute lightning talk will end up taking twelve to fifteen minutes. Overall, if past experience is any indication, we, as a community, don't have enough quality to drive the content for forty minute talks.

20 minutes is way too less time to talk about anything in deep. I just came back from FOSSASIA where many speakers had that as a problem. Note: It will be nice if people do not top post. One can go through [1] to learn more about how to reply to a list. [1] http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/mailing-list-etiquett...

I do think that decreasing talk time is not good for speakers as well as attendees. -- Thanks & Regards Raakesh Kumar Director, Softgators Tech (P) Ltd. +91 9015845820, +91 9540082755 DISCLAIMER This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

20 minutes is too short for a talk. If I remember correctly 40 minutes includes Q&A also. May be we can make it 30 min, where 25 min talk and 5 min Q&A. On Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 5:22 PM, Harsh Gupta <gupta.harsh96@gmail.com> wrote:
