Hi Daniel, I like your outline; it sounds like a presentation I'd like to attend myself. Here's my (textile) outline for a 55-minute talk. I shift from slide-presentation mode to hands-on coding (with as much cheating as possible to save time) about mid-way, then come back to slides towards the end. It's not fully ironed out yet but should give you a good idea of how I go about it. I think the hardest part is picking which subjects to cover from the wide array of interesting Buildr features.
