I think the link to the Portland BarCampers is incorrect. It points to a list that doesn't include many people who were there.

Some more potential topics:

1. Getting young women (as early as middle school) involved in science, math, computers and technology

2. I can talk for hours about exploratory data analysis, the R programming language, and other nifty things to do with numbers on a computer. "Getting Started with R" is a working title.

3. Linux, of course -- what's new in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope, does Linux *really* suck?

4. Twitter tools -- what do you use? why? what would you pay hard cash for?

5. eMarketing for really small businesses. I think Dawn's Yahoo Pipes demos are a sample of the sort of thing you can do for little outlay, but I'm thinking about places like the coffee shop where I hang out in Aloha, hair salons, etc. They *might* be able to afford a part-time consultant to come in and get them started, but they don't have the time to invest in continuous monitoring, analytics, live tweeting, etc.
