Right now we don't know how many students we'll have so it's impossible to give exact numbers. But for the sake of simplicity, let's say we have 20 students. With 20 students, two 15 minute presentations for each student amounts to 10 hours of total time. At the current length of the developer meeting (one hour), that would be 10 weeks (in reality, 11 weeks, because we need to allow start up and end time for each meeting). That would mean nearly every dev meeting during GSoC would have to be dedicated to student presentations. If we assume this is unreasonable, that means if we want students to present during the weekly developer meetings we have to either shorten the presentations to perhaps around 5 minutes, or double the length of the meetings (which would end up with 5 or 6 weeks with presentations, as we had last year). Hope this makes sense.
