Entirely selfish request I admit - being that I manage a dev team in the Brighton area using Flex now, and we're looking at adding mapping/geo features to our app soon. Half the team will be at FOTB - see you there! Definitely Mapping please.

Or a decompilation topic that indeed goes into deep analyzis of some big app like Buzzword and discusses how to best digest decompiled code and figure out their overall architecture and design goals.
