Sure thing! Borrow away.

We're actually speaking at POSSCON's education track as well 
(Sebastian's remote, I'll be there in person) so if you want to catch up 
before we both speak and make sure we're complementing and amplifying 
each others' points and not being redundant, that might not be a bad idea.

There is. Anyone else from here coming to POSSCON? Right now I count 
just myself and Leslie and Bryan, but there may be more lurking in the 
shadows.

I wonder if it might be worth starting to keep track of "TOS talks" - 
papers and videos and slides and whatnot that folks here give about the 
teaching of open source - to give newcomers/outsiders a flavor of what 
we do, and where it's listened-to.
