It just hit me that some people might be waiting for me to nod my head at
this. Well, I'm nodding.

Hmm, this is something I've talked to two people about, (I thought
startup scripts were the best of the list of ideas we had once upon a
time), and both have said they'd love to - when they get time to prepare
it. So if anyone else thinks they can step up and give this talk, we'd all
be very greatful.

Since the alternative is probably no talk at all, I am sure noone could
say this is inconveniencing them. :)

Ummm, like until the second tuesday of February? Or do you mean March?

Many of you will remember that Ian did a talk on Samba a long way back.
I have also done a second talk, but I think we are the only ones.
If anyone is holding back because they have spoken already, then please
don't. At least in my case, the second talk was much easier.
On the other hand, we'd dearly love to see some new faces up front.
