Status: Organizing the OSCON presence (resend w/subject)

This is where I think we are so far with regards
to OSCON2004. If I've got something wrong or
too vague, please contact me.

We need more speakers as opposed to tutorial presenters.
We need verification on a few of the tutorial
subjects and lengths.

There are a few subject overlaps and I'm trying
to get more details and let the various people
work out the overlaps.

I will provide updates to this list
as new information becomes available.
