That's one of the nice things about Free Software: there's more than one
way to look at it :).

In this case, I asked if we wanted A or B and the answer was "yes", so now
I will try to find talks that address both. I know a few people who have
relevant experience and will reach out to them.

I will gladly take presentation referrals, so please let us know if you
know someone you think would be good.

ciao,
