[wellylug] If you are stuck for ideas for a lightning talk session

[Don Gould]

Hugh,

The package is DTC.  (see http://dtcsupport.gplhost.com/)  I use this to 
control our shared hosting.

I needs lots of love and I'd love to also see maori included as a 
language at some point.

I'm mad keen personally to see us host more data in NZ (for all those 
obvious reasons).

I'm based in Christchurch, but I do come to Wellington from time to time.

I'd love to do a lightening talk about the packages in the suite and how 
they benefit the community, linux world and Internet in my view.

I've been working on pushing IPv6 into it and I'm keen to also see 
DNSSEC in it too, but I simply don't have enough resource to do either 
of these myself.

I know there are other platforms.  But this one is all FLOSS, something 
I know and from a team who have given me an amount of support over the 
years, so I'm kinda keen to make this one fly.

My personal vision was to grow my own business enough to be able to 
sponsor development on it and then push it back into the FLOSS space, 
but even doing that is quite overwhelming.

Ok, there you have it :)
