Also, I find that its good to consider your audience. If you are presenting to a bunch of artists, demoing the capabilities and great artwork generated is a must as well as generally covering features that are upcoming.
Developers generally want to hear more about details of code, community, how to get involved, as well as more detailed roadmap items. I also like to show off the extensions as a great entrypoint into getting involved.
I think the audience at SCALE is very broad. It's more of a regional conference that looking at any particular group of people. There are a lot of people who are curious about Linux, and show up to learn more about it.
I would say that probably the largest group there are "IT Folks". Not really developers per se but they're interested in the technical aspects of the software. They're probably more interest in Inkscape as a Visio replacement than fine art. That being said, the best example of that I can remember of that type of stuff is from Bryce. Bryce, do you still have the server room diagram you made, oh, and the landscaping of your yard?
