Furthermore, sometimes people are less qualified do better talks as they focus more on "presenting" something to the audience. So you do not have to be superqualified, but you have to: 1) like the thing you are presenting 2) be good at presenting Cheers!And now I have to wrack my brain for ideas. :) I could probably answer questions about D all day, but coming up with something useful to talk about on my own never seems to be as easy as it should be...I had some until I have started to think about "Credentials: What qualifies you to talk on the topic of choice?".

I think that could produce really good teaching material on how to use the module. Also you could explain in more detail when to use the different types and what else can be done with the module (or package ;)).
