<div dir="ltr" >I am interested in this type of {introductory, background, how-to} information. Some ideas for you:</div>
<div dir="ltr" >- Can some the presentations or sessions be written up and added to the openbmc/docs repo? It is sometimes hard to find presentations after they are done. It is also much easier to keep details up to date when they are in a plain text format (compared to powerpoint).</div>
<div dir="ltr" >- As a thought experiment, how much of your presentations can you give by simply referring to existing OpenBMC documentation, such as is in the repos under github.com/openbmc? If you need to explain more, can that information be added to the OpenBMC docs?</div>
<div dir="ltr" >- When you are at the event, can you get a sense of pain points in the documentation?</div>
<div dir="ltr" >- I would be happy to review your presentation before or after the event.</div>
