Brian, I'd like to plant a thought: 

Here's something I'd happily spend an entire day at an Astricon doing:
if someone were generous enough to present "a lovingly painful, newbies
introduction to Asterisk source code", I for one would be ears, eyes and
mind WIDE open. I realize that one day would barely even scratch the
surface, but it'd plant seeds, I'm sure of that.

Make it fast, make it cruel, don't wait up for those that can't keep up,
but go through some of the core stuff, some of the cool stuff, some of
the controversial stuff, some of whatever you personally want to talk
about. If everybody walks out cross-eyed, they learnt something. Get
some beer into them, quick, and some of it might actually stick!

I'M IN!

Jim.
