Spinning this off into its own thread, and with a disclaimer that it's all speculation.
But Ron's 180 on the symposium over the last few weeks could be because he may have coordinated with Lindell to leak information supplied by Tina Peters.

Ron was skeptical of Lindell's claims about the PCAPS throughout July. On 7/30, Ron changes his tune. Now he "knows a lot" that he had not yet published.
On 8/2, he started hyping the whistleblower video.

Ron also posted this blurry screenshot, which shows a list of equipment.
In that screenshot, 4 Canon DR-G1130 scanners are listed.
Per this PDF, Mesa County is the only CO county to have purchased exactly 4 of those scanners. https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/VotingSystems/files/2016/2016EquipmentDatabase.pdf

There are also 4 Dell 9030 AIO workstations. Again, Mesa County is the only one to have exactly 4 of those.

Actually, found an even better doc. If you scroll down to Mesa, you'll see the same hardware listed in Ron's screenshot, in the same order, and the same quantity.

Disappeared because I took that per-county inventory doc, pulled the Dell or Canon hardware (because that's all that's visible in Ron's screenshots) and turned it into a CSV for easy parsing. You can find that paste here: https://pastebin.com/UK5niLHR

Again, the source for that CSV is from this link: https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/VotingSystems/files/2020/ColoradoVotingEquipmentbyCounty2020.pdf

Initial analysis: Mesa County has a unique combination of hardware. No other CO county has the same blend of devices.
[tweet] [link]
Even after paring down the list to 5 device types, Mesa remains the only county with that specific combination.
What's this mean? Well, it means that there's a high likelihood that the spreadsheet Ron shared out originated from Mesa county.

If that's accurate, it confirms the CO SoS' suspicions that Tina Peters (or someone from her office) was leaking information to Ron.

Putting this together: I think Lindell('s people) got in touch with Ron at the end of July and connected him with Tina Peters, or leaked info to him that she had shared with Lindell's team.
Ron would launder the leak and make it seem as if it came from a Dominion employee.

This would be mutually beneficial: Ron gets to jump start his hype machine and drum up buzz by sharing data leaked by a "Dominion employee", and gets a speaking slot.
In exchange, he agrees to hype the cyber symposium.

Lindell gets some plausible deniability for Tina Peters by making it seem as if the data was sent to Ron by a Dominion employee.
Peters can also appear on stage and corroborate the "whistleblower" data while Ron calls in. She can even act surprised that Ron has the data.
