Hi,

I believe you, Natalie, may have access to some of the Flock speakers ahead of 
flock.  Perhaps some articles like are written on opensource.com before 
conferences where you interview a speaker would be useful.  Obviously it 
depends on who you have access too.

An email to [email protected] might yield a bigger response too.

regards,

bex
