- How organisations are using Linux, eg ISPs, corporates
    (perhaps make this "Linux in the Enterprise" on how larger companies are using and managing Linux. Small companies don't want to be doing it the way small companies do it, they want to find out what big companies are doing anyway so that helps them too)

Also, how about:

- High Performance Computing
- High Availability Clusters
- Linux internals
- Redhat GFS
- Lustre
- PostgreSQL vs MySQL?
- any other interesting industrial grade Linux topics


There is a _lot_ of demand for the HPC stuff out here in the working world, but very little information on it, and a lot of confusion and lack of general knowledge and direction. If people can come together for a session on this, that would be *Awesome*.

I understand that hobbyists probably won't be interested in any of this stuff, but it's got to be done, even if it's just a specialist session or two.
