+1 for all of the topics listed, but especially:
* Stop hurting Ruby, or a list of things you do that make Ruby slow
* How to benchmark and profile code

The question is what topics do you guys want to hear about?
What I do at work is off limit, but otherwise I should be able to
cover almost any Ruby topics,
here are some that I can think of right and which could be interesting:
* Ruby's Garbage Collector, what is it, how does it work, why should I
care?
* Concurrency with Ruby, what's the real situation and what are the
work arounds?
* Stop hurting Ruby, or a list of things you do that make Ruby slow
* Writing a C extension for Ruby
* Ruby's internals
* How to benchmark and profile code
* Architectural design and what should I care if I want a flexible yet
powerful app
* Do you know Lisp? Get over the parenthesis stigma and see the
awesomeness!
* AI in Ruby, or let's solve some game problems using Ruby
* Group discussion about some Ruby snippets and their pros/cons
Obviously I won't be able to present all of these talks so I'd like to
hear what you are interested to hear about.
Personally I would love to hear talks about the following topics:
* rvm and how to deploy apps with rvm
* Intro to Ruby for Java developers
* Intro to Ruby for Python developers
* intro to Ruby for <the community you come from>
* What can we learn from the Python language and its community
* What can we learn from Java/.Net/PHP
* Passenger 3
* People showing real problems (big or small) and how they solved them
(with real code examples)
* Stuff you are working on
* Ruby for something else than the web

Patrick,
I use Google's geocoding service and the acts_as_mappable Rails plugin
in one of my apps. I'd be happy to give a talk in January or February
on geocoding.
