I also think that having a few talks about integration into other
environments is a pretty good idea and I'm happy to talk about DBusKit a
bit. 10–15 minutes would probably be enough for people to get the gist
of it, but I could also do something more elaborate (~30min?) if there
is sufficient interest (or we have trouble filling all the spots).
