Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your suggestion, Ill double down on TOFU. Its a key area, as it shows points ofconsideration (nobody wants to find out after the fact that what theystarted was inappropriate).

IMHO, the more I am obligated to consider real expectations the more I cancrowd out my more irreverent tendencies (ta!).

Additionally the talk will be recorded (as well as other presenters).

Hi Jonathan,
TOFU Cert Validation for some reason took me a second to get (maybe
I'm just not smart).
Since the talk is introductory, if your presentation goes into some
detail, it might be worth explaining
how that works in contrast with more common certificate validation
methods. This isn't strictly part
of the protocol but it is an important bit of information when
implementing your own client and server
and also when discussing how Gemini is more distributed than the WWW.
I'm looking forward to the presentation!
