Jack Jansen sent the following message to me, but I will not be able to attend. I still think it would be a great idea though, and Jack said it would be okay to forward this message to this mailing list to see if anybody else would be willing to sign up for giving a Mailman tutorial at this conference.
Time is short though -- the deadline is (officially) January 31st. If you think you'd be able to give this tutorial, please let Jack know (and CC me).
Thanks! -Barry

Note that I have submitted an invited talk proposal for this conference, and while I haven't heard the official word yet, I have gotten some initial feedback that they are positively inclined towards accepting.
Under normal circumstances, I would be fine with also doing a tutorial on a related package (such as Mailman), but I'm also in the process of writing a book, I think I'm about to accept a propsal from Rob Kolstad to start writing a column for _;login:_ magazine (the official publication of the USENIX Association), and my wife and I are preparing to move back to the US this year. Given the short fuse, I don't think I could do it this time.
Now, if someone else has already developed Mailman tutorial material, I'd be happy to be the one to present that.
I got contacted back in December about doing an invited talk proposal for this conference. While I did give them a number of other names of people that I thought might be interested/willing/able to give an invited talk at this conference, I didn't think about anyone related to Mailman.
For that, I am deeply sorry. I should have thought of you folks and given you much more warning.
