We have had some talks on this in the past, so that people have
expressed a degree of anti-interest.

A lot of VMWare folk are based in Burlington, so we've had quite a bit
of coverage as consequence.

It has been ~3 years since there was last a talk on this, so I'm sure
it's possible to say something useful.  The "beware" is that a lot of
things may have been said before.

Something I'm pretty sure would not be terribly well received is a
missive on what commands to use to set up the cluster.  "Why?" is much
more interesting than "How?"
