Hi David,

I'd be willing to get involved in this, and I've had enough experience with 
formal presentations for both reasonably comfort and competence.

As far as a talk proposal goes, however, I'm personally too neo to X to 
submit anything coherent about X by the extended July 13 deadline.  If 
there's a way to handle getting a proposal in, November 8 would be enough 
time to prepare, though.

Ellis
