I definitely agree that we need some theme for the afternoon and talking 
about the future (especially for Geronimo where things will be changing 
a fair amount) is always a good choice.

I'm not sure if there was an implied order below ... but I would 
recommend the following:
1) Custom Server Assemblies (with a strong emphasis on current Geronimo 
architecture and the move to OSGi .... IMHO this sets the stage well for 
Blueprint).
2) Blueprint Container Specification and Geronimo
3) JPA 2.0 Specification (I agree it would be best to include general 
EE6 outlook).

Great suggestions everybody ... wish I could attend ApacheCon!
