My initial thinking would be fairly little, and assume a basic
familiarity with 3D-graphics and concepts like e.g. textures and
shaders. The idea would be to give a fairly high-level overview of
Wine's Direct3D implementation. My reasoning there is that plenty of
books and papers have been written on 3D-graphics that do a much
better job of explaining the concepts than I would be able to in a
15-20 minute presentation, and on the other side, people really
interested in all the details of Wine's implementation would likely be
better of just reading the source code. There's still time to convince
me otherwise though. :)
