Great ! That's surely an interesting presentation. By chance, have you 
considered running (Free)IPA or CDS/FDS/RHDS as the ldap solution ? If 
so can you talk about your conclusions/pros/cons ?

Have you already a wiki login to edit the Fosdem2009 page because i need 
some informations to be filled in before end of this week (see my mail 
to the list regarding deadline for speakers/presentations) ?
Thanks again.

PS : is it possible (if it's not the case) to subscribe also to the 
centos-promo list so that the discussion can be centralized ? thanks
