Hey Ilan, good seeing you at All Things Open. I crashed your dinner at Whiskey Kitchen for a second... I am Jonas Rosland's friend, who just stopped by since I hadn't seen him in years.

On the AI/ML front, here are some topics I would like to see:

1. Research has shown Small Language Models (SLMs) perform better for purpose-built tasks than LLMs
2. Practical Agentic AI (as in how-tos) not just hand-waving stuff 🤣 this should be by code example(s) in a repo
3. Practical recommendations for Production Agentic Systems OR Agents Using MCP... again, not just hand-waving stuff 😬 this should be by code example(s) in a repo
4. AI on IoT/Edge
5. Interesting or unique AI or ML projects that solve interesting problems

I submitted my name for volunteering, but if you need help with anything, rumor has it I might know a little bit about AI/ML. 😀

Cheers! 
David vonThenen
