I'd hate to see it cancelled.  That's a killer to membership, especially 
those who don't hear and show up.

Could we let it stand and if no one is available make it an open 
discussion?  We don't want to do that too much but I think people will 
understand the jam our speakers may get us into (especially if there's a 
good reason behind it).

Ideas, none exactly short notice, include Bdale Garbee, Cricket Liu, and 
who's that Perl guy in Boulder?  Tom Christiansen?  Those are heavy 
hitters though.

At the installfest one of the DeVry guys said they have a security group 
with info on www.hackdmz.net.  He was impressed with the guy who runs 
the group but I didn't see any good contact info (maybe if I'd 
registered on the site).

At the moment I'm not free on Tuesday but that could change.  If I were 
to come I could talk for an hour about darn near anything (and I'm 
supposed to be thinking about a DNS talk).  Of course that might be 
worse for membership than cancelling. :-)  I'll let you know if I can 
make it (so you can wave everyone else off ;-).
