After missing the ITProForum last night, & Mike's presentation, I was left a
bit hungry...
so I took some time to enjoy what is apparently the first video-published
google tech talk:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3D-7398680103951126462
About ZeroConf -- avahi is mentioned at ~53:30 and ~1:00:25 :)
Very intelligent speaker... it's fun to hear about IETF politics, just a
little anyway.

cheers,

Ben
