well, here's one topic for a 10minute session. I realise that there are a
places to look these things up but many of us don't because we think we're
doing the right thing already. mailing lists form an integral part of most
open source development/discussion/help and hence it would be worth while
to spend some time on it.

thumbs up for looking at the broader picture Dave et al.! I look forward to
the mini-sessions and newbie oriented talks.

thanks,
  Mischa
