Were you thinking of this for the Thursday technical track, or the Friday 
sessions?

Time is generally tight on the Friday session, where we have all the 
vendor presentations.  But if you can do it on Thursday, then I'd 
recommend to pick a slot on the wiki and pen yourself in someplace that is 
open.

It sounds like an interesting topic.
