Have them do it as teams. Research together. Each team member
talks an equal fraction of the presentation time.

Like HOWTOs? These are always welcome. But they don't
provide the feedback that a live presentation allows.

Yes.
Sometimes I can't make a presentation at the Corvallis LUG
that I really wanted to see. It would be nice to be able to
see essentially the same thing at the Eugene.

This would be good.

I could do this. There are some arcane REs I don't know.
But perhaps that's good enough.

Not sure I can answer this one. But this relates to something
I am interested in presenting at some point. I have put together
a framework for quickly restoring the same configuration after
a full system install (e.g. RedHat6.0 -> RedHat6.2). Is there
any interest in hearing this sort of thing?
I also have a framework for compiling kernels. Interest?
