The whole box and dice, including home-schooling, on-the-job training and 
casual learning.

You might have to fight Trent for a place. (-:

Sounds promising. Whip up a brace of precis (say that six times quickly), have 
a chat with Trent (mailto:trent at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au) about the IPv6 stuff, and 
email the results in. Use your imagination. Go wild! For example, nobody has 
proposed a two-speaker presentation yet... if you can work up some decent 
interaction that might be interesting to try.
