I'd like to nominate Leon for a PLUG talk on eventstreamr, where it came
from, where it's going, who should use it and how does it work. It doesn't
have to be an hour long talk.

I'd also like to hear from some of our ISP admins (PLUG member James Brown
is one of them, but I'm sure there are others) about what the ISPs are
planning to do about the government's metadata retention laws.

It might be interesting to get those 6 students from Curtin who attended
LCA2015 to tell us why they never attend the PLUG meetings, what they'd
like to see in PLUG and how they experienced LCA2015. I saw them at the
kernel miniconf, but didn't see a whole lot of them in the hallways or in
the pub.

And lastly, but definitely not least, Jeremy Kerr gave another very
interesting talk about completely open firmware on openpower [1][2]. That
means that the once very-proprietary IBM power architecture is now much
more open than x86 and that's great news from security, freedom,
hackability and educational perspectives. I'm sure that Jeremy has more
interesting things up his sleeve if we could convince him to give a talk.
