Same here. >Something I've thought of is giving PART of a >presentation to user groups. A few of us could >each take a separate aspect of Linux and speak >briefly about it user group meetings.

I like the team presentation thing. It gives everyone an opportunity to speak and lessens the load on one person. That ways we can distribute parts of the presentation and do the presentation as a LUG. Gives us more credibility as a group. What do you think? Some examples to show people can actually use Linux: GUI like Gnome, KDE etc. Office Suites like StarOffice etc. MP3 players Windows-Linux connectivity - Samba >The team thing would also lend itself to multi >host (machine) demonstrations where each of us >brings a machine and we set up a quickie network >and show demos to impress the crowd. > <snip> >Then we wow them with some Linux demos and run >etherape and top simultaneously on different >machines or in different windows watching Xwindows >juggle the cpu usage between Xwin, the window >manager and the application.

Why don't we do that? Next LUG meeting spend half an hour deciding what we want to present and then get started then itself.
