I have presentations, pretty much in-the-can, on:
 * Cyrus IMAPd
 * IPv6
 * OpenFire (the XMPP server from
<http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp>)
 * Centralized logging with Syslog (to an RDBMS)
 * HylaFAX
 * PostgreSQL 
 * TCP/IP (introduction to IPv4 networking)
 * Wireless/Network authentication with FreeRADIUS (EAP/802.11x)
 * OpenGroupware
 * Samba ("CIFS & POSIX: Bridging the Chasm", focuses on reconciliation
of the two world views: name space issues, UIDs & GIDs vs. SIDS, DNS &
WINS, etc..)
 * PAM & NSS
 * LDAP (a seven part series actually, starting at LDAP101 which is an
introduction to LDAP concepts, terminology, data model, etc...)
 * Debugging your system: Using lsof, fuser, strace, netstat, and /proc
 * Kerberos V: Setting up a MIT KDC and clients.
... if anyone is interested in any of those.

Personally I'd be interesting in a presentation on:
 * Samba 4
 * The latest generation of version control systems: git, bzr, Plastic,
and Mercurial.  The proliferation of new version control systems is a
bit overwhelming for someone who's primary job doesn't involve keeping
track of such things.
 * NHibernate on Mono
 * Funambol
 * Mobile IPv6
 * The latest features of CUPS: the changelogs for recent versions have
lots of cool sounding featuers like RSS, back-channel communications,
etc.. but there is @^$&*@*(& zero documentation how to use any of them.
Can CUPS notify a user when their print job failed?
 * Using Valgrind to analyze for memory leaks and performance issues.
 * OpenNMS - Beyond just getting to beast running.
 * PKI - Yes, I know what a CA, CSR, and a certificate are, but there
seems to be allot more involved in getting something that actually works
(well).  There has got to be a better way to manage certificates than
the openssl command and a filesystem directory.
 * Alfresco <http://www.alfresco.com/>
 * The upcoming filesystems and what they can do for me-the-sysadmin.
ext4, butterfs, etc...
 * Video editing, and why it never works for me.  I've used kino to edit
some video, but then the sound doesn't actually track the video.  What
do all those 10^18 output options mean?
