Thanks for the kindness, but I promise to do better... I hadn't given
a talk of that sort since I left science in the 90's and I

Fair enough.  Given my experience at pycon, it is good that I don't
need to give a length :)

Okay I'll check with Red Hat first (though since we hosted a Ruby
thing last week, I bet it isn't a problem).
