Those all sound great -- although, #3 might be more appropriate for the "general" track? I proposed a version of #2 for LinuxCon, so I could probably cover it. But I figured it would just be part of the "intro" session I've already proposed. Some more "in depth" version of some facet of #2 could be good, if you would like to propose it. Perhaps Jim could be persuaded to propose some version of the talks he has been giving? I sent an email to VJ (assuming I had the right email address) in hopes I might persuade him to participate. If you know him, feel free to use your own personal influence on him! What I would really like is to see some of the vendors (e.g. Cisco and the like) participating, and some academics as well. I'll buy the beer? :-) John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
