Myron Stowe mentioned to me the other day the idea for a git-vs-stgit
talk, or perhaps a git talk then an stgit talk then a comparison of the
two. I'm happy to volunteer to talk about git since I now use it a ton.
I don't know if it's short notice for Myron to talk bout stgit, but
perhaps if I talk about git first that could at least feed into an stgit
talk next time or similar?

I was also thinking about volunteering for some kind of "Linux kernel
development process" talk or similar. Would people be interested? To do
that justice would be more than a short topic, but perhaps I could do
something short to start with. I also figured advanced notice might be
useful for a full talk in case anyone especially wanted to hear about it
and had to make plans ahead of time.
