Let's keep them together, but state the requirements clearly for each
of them. We can have two different types of talks - "talk" &
"workshop". Both have different duration & material related
differences.

We could. As a matter of fact, we were thinking about having three
tracks, "newbie", "advanced" & "theme". IMHO it's a good idea to have
a general theme. As far as themes like "NoSQL with Python", don't you
think that those talks will turn out to be general evangelism about
the NoSQL DB and some tips about using the related client library?
It's not bad per se, but can turn out to be monotonous if we have many
talks along the same lines.

I would recommend 45 mins (+/- 5 mins) with a solid 10 minutes for Q&A
and a break of 5 mins between every talk.
