Anyway, cool you thought about it :)
Concerning your question: yes, I think it is good to send in multiple proposals,
with different scopes (audience, subject).
The conference usually has several tracks which are focused on common
interest/topics. If you try to "squeeze" everything in one talk it might be more
difficult to qualify for any. And with two (or more) you have more chance to get
one (or more) to be selected :)

Subject: ApacheCON NA 2011 CFP: deadline today!
Hi all,
I almost missed it but suddenly realized I haven't seen any feedback anymore
about presenting Rave at the ApacheCON NA 2011 (Vancouver) later this year.
As the CFP deadline end *today* (midnight Pacific Time), I want to check if
anyone did send in a proposal.
I remember Matt chiming in before indicating he was willing to come up with
something?
Assuming nobody has send in anything yet, I think we maybe could propose two
separate talks:
a) Rave Overview and Role (high-level/non-technical):
history
community
goals
future
b) Rave Technical:
background (e.g. originating projects, current usages/examples)
architecture
features (small demos)
goals (functional and technical)
roadmap
final grant demo
Assuming Matt or others might be interested and might have a preference for the
technical talk, I'm inclined to pitch for the first one and write up a proposal
for that today. But if someone else has a preference to pick that one up just
let me know.
I only want to make sure we're covering both (type of) talks, so if nobody else
can or want to jump in, I'm even willing to send in proposals for both.
Please chime in ASAP *today* if/when you are willing to participate in this, or
already did :)
Regards,
Ate
