re-consider talk duration and make it 40 mins (incl 5 mins QnA)? 25 mins +
5 mins QnA are generally less for speakers as they have to rush through to
their content, especially in case of demos included. I experienced the
dame during PyCon India 2019. In fact, some of the international Python
Conferences keep the duration of the talks to be around 40-45 mins.
