A Free Merb - PDF book with a Starterkit
I suggest this... Point wise
(1) It would nice nice to pick up some available free open source projects available in Merb.
(2) Mix the best of projects in to one Big Project. for example a Commerce Kit with Forums, Blogs, Guest Book etc... Make it a big StarterKit.
(3) Create an indepth tutorial on implementing that Starterkit with step wise tutorials, explaining the power of Merb.
(4) Distribute this in Conference as Free PDF Book.
(5) This will help to install and learn MERB with a big project in hand.
Thats it.

talk about dynomite: a distributed key-value store
Dynomite is an open source key value store written in Erlang. It's modeled after Amazon's dynamo paper, with tunable fault tolerance, latency and eventual consistency. I'll talk about how to get it setup and use it from ruby, and about how Powerset is using it in our public facing site.

talk about merb-slices or merb-parts
merb-slices and merb-parts, i believe, are where a lot of the value of merb applications is going to be derived.
it would be useful to talk about how these fit into the infrastructure of an application, how to utilize them, how to create your own, and finally, how to structure your app to utilize them.

talk: how to extend merb and write plugins
It is a bug if "a plugin wants to extend Merb and has to use alias_method_chain to do it", so an in-detail session on where to extend merb and the internal public api would be extraordinarily helpful for budding plugin writers.
