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? :-)
