I found Mr. Klein's powerpoint online at: 
http://www.klein.com/dvk/publications/

It looks like a very interesting talk.  Unfortunately, I don't think I will 
be able to attend.

> "Flying Linux" Talk Abstract:
> We all know that "Linux is better than Windows." Few intelligent
> people would board a fly-by-wire airplane that was controlled by
> Microsoft Windows. So how about Linux? When your life is at stake,
> your attitudes change considerably. Better than Windows, yes -- but
> better enough? This talk will look at what it takes to make software
> truly mission-critical and man-rated. We'll go back to the earliest
> fly-by-wire systems -- Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo -- and look at such
> diverse (but critical!) issues as compartmentalization, trojans and
> terrorism, auditing and accountability, bugs and boundary conditions,
> distributed authoring, and revision control. At the end of this talk,
> what you thought might be an easy answer will be seen to be not so
> easy.
