As the guy who had to kick people out of rooms because they were
chatting with the speaker or the speaker was still not done with his
talk when the time had passed, but also as a speaker who thought it
was a bit difficult to cover everything I wanted to in the allocated
time, I don't think it would be good to reduce the length.

Yes. I'm sad not to know more about Elementary or Cinnamon for
instance, and would definitely be interested in attending a talk from
