don't know Chris, he helped me and Jim found the LUG, he is the lead
developer of MediaGoblin, and he gives awesome talks :) He'd proposed two
topics and is willing to give either/both talks:

isn't going to happen for this month, but I'll let everyone know when plans
are solidified in the future.

I'd be really interested in the federation talk. If you run into any
hiccups with the Red Hat office, let me know.
