Jon,
Thanks for this reminder. Will you be considering any kind of lightning talk /
24x7 / pecha kucha format in the Fedora track? I believe the conference hosts
plan to invite pecha kucha proposals this year to the attached "fringe" event,
but I'm unsure if there will be a way to indicate that for the Fedora User
Group (or indeed if such a proposal would be welcome!)
