Subject: Presentation on Ruby, require suggestions

Hello,

My company has a policy which requires that at least one person
present a topic every week. The topic is unspecified and can range
from anything to salmon fishing in Newfoundland to The Beatles' LSD
experience. I want to present Ruby. While a large section of the
audience consists of developers, the audience will also consist of non
technical people from depts such as HR, Accounting etc. I have to gear
my presentation so as to not alienate any single group and make it
interesting all the same.

Can you guys provide suggestions? As of now this is what I have. It is
meant to be an hour's worth of presentation. I figured I'll have 10
slides, 6 minutes on each slide along with code snippets. I also have
written solutions for several problems that some of the people in
accounting/hr face. The purpose of my demonstration is to prove that
Ruby, even for non programmers, can be used to solve small scale
problems in their lives.

Thank you,

Jayanth
