Description:
As members of the Ruby on Rails community, we’ve taken advantage of a wonderful framework, fantastic libraries, and enjoyed the company of other great, creative minds. But it’s important to make sure we give back! In this talk, we’ll look at how we can start to release our own libraries. We’ll look at how we can manage our open-source contributions, to make sure that we don’t alienate new developers. Finally, we’ll see just how easy it is to provide support for the next generation of Ruby on Rails enthusiasts and coders!

I feel like the first 15 minutes of your talk were pretty good. After that you seemed to devolve into a rambling recounting of philosophical points that resonated with you. My suggestion: be more careful about considering your audience when preparing a talk.
Didn't know what to expect with your presentation - and I am glad I stayed in the room to listen. You have a great presentation style and presence on stage.

The initial code review didn't really seem tied to the rest of the talk. Two directions you might go are 1. Briefly describe the gem and point out how easy it is to release, or 2. start with code-only, and then add more (documentation, tests, contact info, etc.) as you make each point.
On the whole I think it would be more compelling if you picked a few central ideas and came at them from a few different angles to reinforce the concepts.

Frustrated that I won't be able to stick around after this talk, but I would really appreciate feedback, either in comments, or via Twitter (@gisikw), or email (kevin@kevingisi.com)
