I've been asked to coordinate an Enterprise track at Debconf 10.
I was wondering if there were any Samba related talks that  it would be
worth giving.  Here are things I can think of:

* How samba fits together with other components in Debian; for example
  how Samba can facilitate using Kerberos apps by helping with domain
  joins etc, how things like winbind fit together with the Debian
  PAM/NIS infrastructure, etc.

* Vision for Samba4 in Debian--now and in the future

* Challenges packaging enterprise infrastructure like Samba.  In
  particular, how do you manage the configuration in a way that works
  well both for single systems and for managed infrastructure in the
  enterprise?  As software gains more dependencies, how do you provide
  an easy/coherent experience?



do any of these sound like things worth discussing at the conference?
