Big +1 from me.

We could also run a half day speaker's workshop, which I'd be happy to
lead, to get people presenting better (the same as they do in OSCON -
with Damien Conway no less).

There is a tentatively planned marketing hackfest for March/April with regard to the beginning of the production of video assets for the GNOME 3.0 launch. And then there is a much more firmly planned meeting at GUADEC for more of the same. We could tie in media training in to either of these and increase participation at the respective overall events.
