How about if everyone chooses

How about if everyone chooses a Drupal distribution or a component of Drupal that supports distributions and comes prepared to give a 5 to 10 minute presentation.

I'll present on [Tattler][http://drupaldistrowatch.com/tattler-semantic-mining-news-and-trends].

I've always been looking for a reason to look at OpenPublish, so I can do a quick presentation about it and a demo.

The Central CT Drupal Meetup is scheduled for tomorrow. Our topic is Drupal Distributions. Matt volunteered to give a brief presentation on OpenPublish. I volunteered to give a brief presentation on Tattler. Any other takers willing to give a 5-10 minute presentation on an existing Drupal distribution or a component of Drupal that supports distributions?
