I'm into seeing people present about their latest projects and  
accomplishments.  I like more academic presentations, like last  
month's, or like Ovid's presentation on test-driven development.  And  
I sure like it when out-of-town gurus like Stas drop in.  But those  
sorts of things require a seriously motivated presenter.

It's easier to prepare a presentation about the stuff you're working  
on already, and it benefits the presenter to hear feedback and  
questions.  The local talent pool is deep, and I like seein' what  
y'all have been up to.   The only reservation I have about such talks  
is that sometimes they are esoteric.  Fine, split the night into 2 or  
more talks.

That'd be coo.  I'm not going to make it up there tonite.
