Just to clarify this a bit. There are a lot of people with differing
levels of experience with a version control system. I could give a talk
about VCS in general, and getting started with how Bazaar can work.

Or there are people who are comfortable with SVN/CVS and want to know
how bzr is different. (Being a distributed VCS there can be a bit of a
learning curve, though we have worked hard to support workflows that
should be very comfortable to people coming from SVN/CVS).
So I could give a talk about what Bazaar brings to the table, versus
these other systems.

Other people might have even taken the leap into the world of
distributed VCS systems which have recently seen an explosion in
interest. (darcs, hg, monotone, git, svk, codeville, etc)
And I could explain some of the things we do differently, and generally
why we do them differently.

I could also come with a basic presentation, and then open the floor for
questions, etc.
