Duncan suggested to me that I do a session on using git, so that's got me thinking about what other sessions I could present at Drupalcamp Edinburgh.
Here's what I've come up with:
-
git workflow:
basic clone, commit, push and pull workflow; feature branches and hotfixes and rebasing -
contributing back to Drupal
The basics of how to use the issue queues, the benefits of contributing patches and modules back to Drupal -
module builder
I'm always happy to give a demonstration of using module builder :)
I could do something on writing Views handlers, but all my knowledge relates to the D6 version... :/
What would you like to present / like to see?

I've invested most of my time
I've invested most of my time with Drupal learning D6, now I seem to find D7 in front of me! I'd be keen to see something about the main differences between the two and any tips and tricks for converting sites / themes.
I think it will be very helpful to meet some of the Scotland based Drupal users and see how everyone makes use of things in Drupal, quite looking forward to this!
I agree, to date I have not
I agree, to date I have not had anything other than a cursory look at D7.
One module I would like to know more about is Context.
Git & Simpletest
At the last DD Glasgow, attendees (myself included) expressed an interest in learning more about Git. The docs on d.o cover basic commits well, but it would be great to get more in-depth and see some examples.
Also, I'd love a session on Unit Testing in D6 & 7.
+1 for unit testing

contributing back to Drupal
If you are going to talk about contributing back to Drupal, then maybe you could mention patch bingo! and bug bingo.
How should you deal with some of the things you discover when using it? Anytime I've used patch bingo, it takes me to an issues that has no solution listed and bug bingo more often than not takes me to a discussion that ends with a solution already listed but it is awaiting feedback with no answer.
Should I change the status to something I see more fitting or do I leave that to the module administrator? Also what should we do about modules that seem to be abandoned?

I would like to talk about
I would like to talk about views slideshow 3.x (so its relevant for both 6.x and 7.x). I could also try to read up on views handlers on d7, I hope there will be time for that.
