It definitely looks interesting. Here are some of my (rather vague)
thoughts on the subject and the presentation.

I haven't done anything massively concurrent so I can't offer many
comments however, these are some things that linger in my head.
 - Can you really take advantage of multiple cores using a event
driven framework. Will it fall behind a threaded system when multiple
cores are available?
 - Issues with debugging/maintainability. Event driven code is quite
different from the usual beasts out there.
 - Are there genuine advantages to event driven code or is it just the
"current trend"? This talk which I saw around a year ago suggests that
event driven is not *that* great - http://carlfk.blip.tv/file/2232349

Also, I feel that the talk is torn between "event driven vs. threaded
(the comparisons)" and "Using a threaded framework - twisted (the
example)". I think the talk would be more fun if you decided on one of
these and focussed purely on that.
