I tried looking up #6 to see how much could be verified. I didn't find much.

Dunluke actually did publicity for SUSE.

There was a SUSEcon that ended the day before Yom Kippur in 2017. I'm not even sure it was the same one he was talking about.

I wouldn't mind hearing more about the two managers who were fired.
