I've submitted a proposal to the Open Source Bridge conference to give a tutorial talk on Rust. I can still edit the proposal between now and March 2, so I'd welcome any comments or suggestions about it!
I think your model seems reasonable, and 90+ minutes of building it is obviously not going to teach anyone anything, unless Rust has some kind of miraculous tutorial session during its build :)
Given LCA's model, they would likely insist on one of the following: - you provide tested VMs with Rust pre-built for people to boot (which in theory should mean building it against less targets) - you provide compiled versions for them to install - you bring a box that people SSH into and all use Rust on that (and you bring a second person to sit as root and kill people's rogue processes, LCA isn't DEFCON, but someone would try and find out if you had thought of that — cunning, attendees, you are so unpredictable!)
Those ideas are good to keep in mind, either for LCA or something else. For a conference in June, any of those options would be too much work for just me, but it's possible I might co-present something with others in the future. (And we will probably have binary downloads at some point in the future, so option 2 could potentially become easy.)
