Sorry, guys.  I know I disappeared these days; life's been crazy.

I think I can still give this talk; I have the slides in pt_BR so it's
just a matter of translating to en_CA.  It's been a while since I don't
give this specific presentation, but it should be pretty

Feel free to give 40 minutes to the first presentation, too (if it is
needed).

Contributing cash seems a good idea to me.  Alleyne Inc. is already
giving the space.
