I can attend if there is interest in this. The talk can focus on anything from the following

- LuaRocks LuaDist compatibility roadmap
- Module submission process
- Module evaluation process
- Categorization and identification of modules
- Documentation issues
- OS compatibility
- Binary distribution of apps
- Lua 5.1 vs Lua 5.2 vs LuaJIT
