I think we should keep in mind the audience here. This is not a  
regular computer trade show, like we have done the previous months.  
These are all rather specialized people from the F/OSS community, so  
they probably know Ubuntu and its position in the Linux world.

I believe there are no other Ubuntu talks or something similar? Who  
will be there from the Ubuntu community (not only ubuntu-be)? In my  
opinion, there should be a sort of "state of the union". What was new  
in Ubuntu last year? What can we expect in 2007? Demo the new  
technologies that are in preparation stage now. But remember other  
Linux distributions (Debian, Gentoo, Fedora...) are there too, so we  
should focus on Ubuntu-specific items, not just general Linux  
improvements.

This is of course just my opinion. I can't tell you whether I can  
come this year, so I won't make any commitments now (also not about  
material that I could bring with me).

Greetings,
