If you need someone to talk about WordPress, I have extensive experience with it, especially when it comes to Podcasting.

Josh,
I would like to do the Politics session... and this time I won't be starting a new job a week before.
Although I might like to focus on state and local rather than national...
But if you find another political leader, I will be glad to attend.

Josh.. my name is Frank Derfler. I live in the Keys and have a home in Tampa. My career includes 18 years as a senior editor of PC Magazine, 22 books, university lecturing, etc.
While I'm technically "retired", I just did a series of online courses for Dell on social networking basics and email marketing. I blog at http://mostlyflying.com (at this moment has a strange formatting problem) and http://GreatGuyBooks.com
I spend a lot of time doing video blogging.
I could put together an old journalism /new journalism panel or contribute to the communications PR panel. It's nice to have an event so close!
