If we had two presentations, it would seem reasonable and logical to have one high level presentation, and one low level presentation - with the low level presentation second, so that less technical users wouldn't have to site through what must be a boring technical talk to get to the less heady stuff they want ... I think the more technical users still enjoy the less heady stuff too.

Does anyone else > want to volunteer to present for the next meeting? It might be nice to a get a more highly-stratified mix of presentation topics. If someone wanted to, I think presentations on topics like the following would be appropriate: * Multimedia software - Image editors - Video & cinematics - Audio & recording software - 3D modelling * Package management systems (and why Debian/Ubuntu/apt is the best :) * Linux games * Window managers All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, you know. But, more-over, there's more to Linux & the BSDs than programming and databases, right? Is there anyone that's more of a newbie that wants to pick up a presentation like that? BTW, I don't mean to discourage highly technical presentations, either. It just might suit the group better to see a little bit of everything. -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net
