Thanks a lot, Ellis, for taking this up.

I believe DCOP, NETWM, the keyboard themes and the startup notifications make 
up for nice 30 minutes to 1 hour presentations (my tide goes to DCOP, but I 
have a weakness for this great beer-borne technology :-)

For the half day tutorials, it would really be good if we got Ralf there with 
a KDevelop/kdelibs tutorial (as he seems to already have prepared). Or might 
he be willing to collaborate with you.

This is great. Let's hope all works well.

Thanks again.
