Jim, You could do a whiteboard session about your rollout at the library and how it has evolved over the years. I know there are many other libraries and city governments that use our software and thin clients that could benefit from your experience. Or you could talk about your specific experiences with other software or hardware in your deployment. I know you don't pull punches, so it should be entertaining. I hope other people do sign up as well. I think this is a great way to provide a wider variety of technical content that can help you in the real world. Some of my co-workers do not believe I will be able to get anyone to sign up for this at all. I know there is a ton of knowledgeable and experience people that use this list. I still remember swapping emails with you and others back in 1998 on kixtart scripts when I was a consultant before coming to citrix. I hope some of you will take the time to share all that knowledge and experience with the rest of us. I forgot to mention earlier there will be pizza and drinks at the GeekSpeak BarCamp. There will also be a gadget lounge with a bunch of cool new tech gadgets for you to try out and play with during the event. Another team is trying to setup a few pc 's with video games using Project Apollo so you can get a feel for how that will work. If you have a session idea or want to ask question about GeekSpeak, send me an email.
