I'd love to do it. It's got a couple of different angles, so I wonder what people would be interested in: (1) as an ecommerce system (2) as an open source erp solution (3) as an open source POS terminal. Does anyone on the list know anything about linux POS? Maybe that'd be a great angle for small businesses in the area. (4) as a talk about development models, for those interested in programming primarily. I'm curious what direction you guys think I should aim the talk at?
