One hour, ten mini-sessions, any topic...as long as it's five minutes long. Pitch your crazy new module, complain about the state of documentation, show how you built your lizard selling site using Drupal, talk about the 5 best modules for organizing profile pictures, dazzle us with strategies for getting work done while taking care of five small dogs and a baby, demonstrate your awesome Jquery menus, show newbies how to review a patch, brag about how you got your users to navigate 70 different content types. As long as it's 5 minutes long, it's fair game. A perfect smorgasbord for getting excited about what Drupal can do.
If this sounds interesting to you, propose a mini-session in the comments below.

I'm optimistic that a lot can be done...
Love to hear more about this. Gitorius used with mentored teams working on extended duration projects using a carefully thought through tool selection would be a terrific addition to the roster of drupal training techniques.
Hardly crazy, the DOC is addressing important questions and it's good of you to bring it to our attention.
