Hmm, I don't know what level of detail the concurrency subjects go into,
but I've looked at the pthreads animal book and read the Java threads
animal (eh, spin top), and Lea's java book. I think that it would be a
little over ambitious to try to cover advanced stuff in a once off talk
without loosing a fair amount of folks by doing it. I'd be interested
but I tend to find I'm the sort of guy who just RTFMs instead of sitting
in a lec/talk.
