My #SoftwareFreedomDay talks in @sflcin and FOSS Meetup Delhi were too heavy on information not really useful to an OSM first-timer. And my OSM workshop at #DelhiFOSS took waaay too long in the intro phase, leaving hardly any time for editing with iD.
This time I was able to tweak the content to have less infodumping, and ensure that at least half the time went into practical editing with iD. 
I'll keep working in that direction.

Some blunders -
* I forgot to ask @ravi to assist me, so I was needlessly running around trying to help some 70 people by myself 
* I recommended the students to try StreetComplete as "homework"...which makes no sense at all, since IIT Patna is in an area with hardly any features mapped - too few to serve as reference, and too few to provide an engaging number and variety of quests.

Really need to get into the habit of asking people if they need certain information.
e.g. "Is anyone here a software developer interested in using #OpenStreetMap in their applications or website?" - if yes, show them the programming resources slide.

I initially didn't plan on using slides at all, but then prepared these between 3-4 AM the night before the conference by going on a hasty hack-and-slash through slides from previous talks
