I'll say a tentative "yes" right now, I'll try to get my schedule
confirmed today.

So the topic would be something like:

"The Telecommuting Experience (and a little Ruby).  A Panel with
Representatives from Socialtext, ??, and ??"

One interesting Ruby aspect to this is that I found my great
telecommuting job using a Watir script to scrape craigslist.
craigslist has the best job ads, but there is no way to do a
nationwide search.  I wrote a script that searches for your job
criteria in every city of every state on craigslist, and writes
interesting output to a file.

How would that be?
