It will need to be something I can put together with minimal time expended, given the impressive list of tasks I have still outstanding. I'll cogitate a bit and then propose a topic to you and Heidir. Since you two have the Ubuntu advocacy covered, I should focus on something more generally GNU/Linux, don't you think?<br>
