It might be a good idea to open with a 5 minute demo of Leiningen under normal use before you move one to the substance of your talk. Not every Clojurian uses Lien yet, some because they think it's too complicated. Demos that show how easy something is are pretty impressive (It's no accident that Rails and the Screencast became popular simultanously). It also gives you a launching point for further discussion.

Personally, I'd like to see a discussion of Lein plugin development - what's possible, what's not, how to hook into the build process, etc.

Interesting; I hadn't thought of that.

Plugin development will definitely be covered!


Excellent point. A few minutes spent up front selling Leiningen and providing context for the rest of the talk ought to result in some nice dividends.
