Everyone: Here's the list of topics the the officers have come up with for the upcoming summer and rest of the year. It's organized mostly by subject, sub-topics are indented. I tryed to use one line for every item that could potentally take up a whole meeting. If you can think of a topic that's not included on this list, reply to this thread (preferably with a different topic like "Meeting Idea"). If you think you can teach a topic reply to this thread (preferably a different sub-thread with a different topic again) and make note of it!
There will be a meeting the 6th of May, but we currently don't have a subject! So if you feel like presenting, make note of it! Installfest if planned for the 15th of May, and will be in the Crabtree lobby pending problems. So we'll be looking for help with the booth as usual. The first meeting after the installfest will be aptly titled, "Don't Fear the Penguin" (shameless rip from the plug). And will be directed to new users. It'll be a couple sub-topics (as you can see) and we'll focus on basic things, and let them see some advanced stuff briefly to show them it's out there. More details on some plans for that later. And finally if there's a meeting you really want to see happen, let us know be (once-again) replying to this thread with (yet another) different subject. If we all do our part this can be another great year for the club. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://students.cs.byu.edu/~spr/ GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
