I'd like to see something on "clever use of screen"
   http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/

Notably with a view to knowing about stuff like:
- Connecting to existing sessions
  - Multiple user use, granting access
  - Multiple connections to a single session
- Automatically starting up processes tied to screen
- Copy/Paste
- Message line management
- Selecting windows, selecting sessions
- Customizing keystrokes (e.g. - C-a is an important command in Emacs!)

I'd be willing to do the talk, some time fall-ish...  Good excuse to
learn these bits that I need to know :-)
