It you are going to mention mod_python, then maybe call the talk 'mod_python is dead, long live mod_wsgi'. :-) These days I think we are probably dealing with newbies and not so much who are using mod_python and need to know the alternatives, so not sure how relevant it is to mention mod_python though. Also not sure though one could cover all the above in a 30 minute talk and the purpose of the tutorials is for it to be instructional. For example, how to configure and setup Apache/mod_wsgi behind nginx for optimal web performance may be something more suited to a 3 hour tutorial. To me the format of the talks, 25 minutes talking, 5 minutes of questions seems to be quite limiting as far as doing anything beyond a brief show and tell. Hard to get into detail in such a short time and so would be more marketing than anything else. Anyone else with other suggestions.
