Douglas, I would love to add GWT and Django to the Dork Shorts (http://thatcamp.org/2008/05/dork-shorts/) session. These are two things I’m very interested in but know almost nothing about.

Alright, so here is the list we have so far. I’ve tried to put them in a sensible order (languages, formats, fun):
