Thanks for the proposal.
This talk can be done under 20min I think. Maybe you can add "how-to" setup irc-bouncers like ZNC. Which would be useful.

Personally, I would love to see a talk on building an IRC bot too. (just a suggestion). Maybe @xeon-zolt can help you out or you guys can collaborate.

[miphilomath]

Thanks for the suggestion.
Sure, I will add the IRC bot suggestion.

Any changes to the talk content that you're planning to do?
We have a slot on 21st January for your talk, will you be available?

[miphilomath]

Sorry for the late reply, I was having issues with my laptop.

The content for the talk is as explained above. For the IRC bots, a separate talk would be better(IMO).
I can give the talk at next meetup and please review the slides for any suggestions @sourabhtk37 :)
