Zipkin is a fun topic I wrote a small internal blog post at my client about. The general topic I'm doing a talk on is "The How and Why of Logging" which is generally aimed at providing an overview of logging concepts, common libraries, tools, patterns, etc. Distributed log tracing is certainly a topic I was considering talking about in the talk provided it doesn't go too long.
