Agree, would be nice with some GNOME presence! Do we have any local
GNOMEies who would want to participate / speak? :-)
If you're out of inspiration it could be a generic talk on what's new
in the latest GNOME release, in which case I think Tobias has slides.
If not, then I have some slides for How to get involved with GNOME.

coordinate volunteers to show up to these things.

LinuxFest Northwest 2017: The Mechanics of Freedom
LinuxFest is celebrating 18 years of service to the Free and Open
Source community. Please join us by presenting at one of the largest,
technically diverse, educational, and fun open source conferences in
the Pacific Northwest. The conference had 1850 attendees last year,
and this year promises to be even bigger.

9am - 5pm
Where
Bellingham Technical College

Bellingham, WA 98225
Call For Presentations:
This year we’re looking for presentations around the theme ‘The
Mechanics of Freedom’. Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of
Things are becoming even more integrated in the lives of regular
citizens. Along with these changes comes concern over the trade-offs
between convenience and privacy. We would like to see talks that
bring together pieces of this larger puzzle.
For example: Privacy in the age of relentless online tracking, How
bots can help you onboard new community members, Training driverless
vehicles, How the Internet of Things took down DNS
We’re looking for 60 minute and 90 minute talks. The theme is not
mandatory but highly encouraged. See more info about this years
tracks, including one for expert topics:

Tutorials are hands-on labs which can run 90 minutes or two and a
half hours, and be held in the tutorium, a computer lab with capacity
for 24 people.
Papers Submission Deadline: March 1st, 2017 at 11:59pm PST.
Acceptance Notification: March 10th, 2017

to advertise the sprint, and expected attendance.
