I think "removing ancient kernel cruft" would be a cool talk. Now I *was* going to say, Thanks Rob we needed a volunteer for that; but I suppose that posting this response would make that backfire = )
I'm hoping to do a linux-multimedia presentation soon. Who was I going to share that with, anyone remember?
