I believe AZOTO will be interested in running the presentation tracks.  I
will discuss this with Hans and see what kind of resources I can lend to
make it happen.  At this point consider me the contact for presentation
tracks.  Please send me mail at derek@gnue.org if you would like to do a 1
hour presentation/demo on anything GNU/Linux, Free/Open Source Software
related.  Just send me your name and a one paragraph synopsis of what you
want to present.

Also,  I have switched to a new mail client.  One feature it has is
ability to easily import PGP keys.  I have noticed more PLUG folks are
starting to use them (yeah) and so maybe it's a good time to have a
signing party at this event?  This is another thing that AZOTO strongly
encourages and would like to sponsor. :)

/me runs before Hans beats me for volunteering AZOTO for stuff...
