Thanks a lot, now there are a couple of "problems":
- it's a python conference, I should be able to remain at least close to
  the topic
- the talks are "chosen" by the people who bought the ticket, so I
  should try to write it as inviting as possible.

The thing is that a tour of python-mode and all what's related for
productivity and org-mode/babel would be 2 different talks, so I maybe
also propose both of them...

But if I propose only org I don't think it will ever be accepted, if I
put them together maybe...

And if I'm doing both I should take a very long time to show everything
could be nice (most talks are 60 minutes if I'm not wrong).
