No worries.  I've not talked to Worldwind yet.

All sessions at OSCON, except for three keynotes, are 15m long.   
AutoDesk will have a 15m session.  I've currently got OSGeo down for  
a 15m session, that's the one I've been eyeing for WorldWind.

I have a session for three open source lightning talks scheduled for  
right after the AutoDesk talk.  I haven't heard back from any of them  
(Geoserver, GDAL, UDIG -- I think all three of you are on this dev  
list).

Cheers;
