Two of the MAT committers gave a talk last year and it received many
more -1's than 0's.
I wouldn't assume that someone who isn't a committer isn't necessarily
an expert. In the case of MAT, it's pretty easily extended and
demonstrates well, but the project team just didn't do a good job on
stage.Someone who has worked in the code and is a good speaker could
do a good job with the material without too much effort.
