Sven Guckes is a proponent of small text tools that follow the
Unix philosophy of doing one thing, but doing that very well.

He has written many posts on text tools on mailing lists
and Usenet newsgroups (eg mutt, screen, slrn, vim, zsh)
and is a frequent speaker at conferences.

He will be in Munich at the end of November
and I am trying to set up a few talks.

He suggested a session on screen and vim
because they make up a good combination.

There could be 45-60 minutes talk,
followed by an hour of q&a,
and then some more geeking out.

A possible schedule:
18:00 - 18:45  screen intro
18:45 - 18:55  Questions
18:55 - 19:00  break
19:00 - 19:55  Answers
19:55 - 20:00  break
20:00 - 23:42  geeking

Talk Titles:
* GNU screen - An Introduction
* Vim - Advanced Editing
* Vim - Regular expressions
* Vim - Fast editing of emails
* Why I don't use webmail
* 10 things I hate about screen+vim
