I suppose if there are no other takers I could do a talk on one or both 
of these. Out of the two my preference would be the Mozilla project but 
I'd be happy to do a single talk covering both. A focus could be a more 
gradual migration to Open Source software using these applications in a 
Windows operating system initially, before making the big jump of a new 
OS. I use both suites of software on a regular basis in both Windows and 
GNU/Linux and have converted a few friends :)

Sorry can't help there, I'm hopeless on these things! I would love to 
hear a talk on these topics though.

Of course, this means I actually HAVE to go to the Real Life(TM) meeting 
now! :P
