Haven't exactly decided yet. Loosely:

- BSD-centric Unix history (how things got how they are, starting
with the '70s and moving *quickly*)
- What each BSD thinks is important and why. (I'll avoid saying
"Theo de Raadt is a jerkoff" to the best of my abilities. Whoops.)
- How NetBSD gets things done on a running system. Especially:
  - rc structure
	- package system
	- Linux emulation (since you asked ;^>)
	- probably some other stuff (thoughts?)
- How NetBSD development happens (time permitting)
- stuff you (that is, PLUG) think I'm missing (email me if you like,
or just interrupt me, or wait till I'm done and have left time for
questions)

Not usually. I don't think we've ever been organized enough that we
could go about insisting that presenters provide an outline in
advance. ;^>
