[osol-mktg] OpenSolaris Anniversary Webcast -> Net Talk -> Take 10

Before we get our hearts set on having 2 speakers ...let's remember that 
a 5-10 minute a/v clip is short to share between 2 speakers.
Just a thought.

Also, I agree that I'd love to see Jim featured and focused on the 
community itself--what we've accomplished, and how to get involved. 
community building stuff.  Just don't want the messages rushed together 
if it can be avoided.
