Maybe and update on drm/i915 modesettting stuff (we should be able to check off a lot of the todos from the xdc slides by then) or maybe a talk about drm/i915 testing efforts (yeah, a lot has been happening there without much publicity this year). Or something else. To make the intel roundup complete: Chris, can I volunteer you to give another stab at an "updates from flatland" talk?
