[Ubuntu Chicago] Presentation topics for the 9.10 release party

[Tim Potter]

Guys,

In regards to me giving a presentation, the unfortunate part of my job is
that I do not work with the *buntu variants, but rather the Red Hat / CentOS
distributions.   Now, I don't want to start a flame war, so I will say the
"unfortunately" part of that statement is merely my opinion :)

That being said, I would be happy to talk about how I use linux day to day,
or possibly how the software my company sells runs on linux, but I'm not
sure that I'd be able to pull a 30 minute presentation out of a hat.

In addition, the software is completely closed source, so I'm not sure that
there would even be any benefit to going into great detail about it.
