Well, so far we still seem to be lacking opinions.
Let's try narrowing it down by looking at JD's top two, lightning talks
or social meeting.
I could probably come up with a 5-10 minute talk if we have enough
people to make it worthwhile. Any other takers?
If we don't have a solid idea before Tuesday, we'll need to fall back
to a social meeting.
Any other volunteers?
