MMMMIIIIKKKKEEEE,

I've given your proposal more thought and, given the past expressed desires for a contest at the SAS-L meetup, I'll propose the following modified version of your proposal:

1. A total of 15 minutes of the BOF would be devoted to the type of presentations you proposed. 2. Entries will have to be submitted, to the meetup chair, at least one minute before the start of the meetup. 3. The MAXIMUM time allotted for any presentation will be 15 divided by the number of entries 4. If a presentation goes over the allotted time, by even one second, the entry will be automatically disqualified. 5. At the end of the fifteen minutes if there are any remaining entrants, the winner will be selected, by a show of hands, with the voters being anyone who is in attendance at the meetup. 6. If there is a winner, they will be announced at the closing ceremony by the conference chair and awarded one of MMMMIIIIKKKKEEE's books (if there is a tie for first place, each winner will be announced and awarded one of MMMMIIIIKKKKEEE's books).

Good revision or do I, too, simply have too much time on my hands and really, really, r-e-a-l-l-y need to get a life?!?!?
