sorry for the late reply. I definitely would like to keep the talk, and the slides are 90% ready already — for once we are ahead of the curve. <br>
<br>
We can use my Red Hat Bluejeans room, but that probably is capped at a fixed number of attendees. I am not sure what is the limit, I usually do not call meetings with more than a dozen people — I am not a fan of management by large meetings ;-)<br>
