This seems like a great talk, but I'm not sure the Flock audience is exactly right for this. Possibly in an "onboarding" track. Alternately, I'd be interested in sending you to give this talk about Fedora at a non-Fedora conference — broadening the audience and bringing in more people.

@mattdm Okay. That's great option. I would like to give the talk to people who need it.
