It can be difficult to convince people that they are capable of giving a 5
minute demo of a piece of software. One of the things I found when scheduling
talks is that a lot of people felt they didn't know enough about the subject
and were "just newbies". This simply isn't true. If you use a piece of
software regularly (like you mail client) you can spend 5 minutes talking
about how you use it.
Although the regular contributors to talks do a great job, having someone
different talk is always fun. And it's not a high-pressure environment - none
of the audience members are out to deliberately hassle you.
