All: for your enjoyment, and inviting others to presentations
that will kick ass.<br>
<br>
February = Matt Dew on the X.org project<br>
<br>
Matt writes the documentation.<br>
<br>
March = Rick Burton on the awesome connected-ness/presence
features of Ubuntu<br>
<br>
April = Lori Spencer, topic is TBA, but might be "How to
troubleshooting fornicating, stupid-ass modules that never seem
to work properly so you can finally use your WWAN card and your
WLAN card and your Wacom artist pad."<br>
<br>
Lori is a 10-year veteran of VMS and various Unixen and a
two-year hardcore Linux
user/admin/teacher/proselytizer/anti-Windows gal.<br>
<br>
May = TBA<br>
<br>
June = Will Sterling, topic is TBA, but might be "What rocks and
what sucks about Linux, when compared to it's true brethren, the
Unixenses."<br>
<br>
Will is a ???-year hard-core Unix guy. He knows more Unixes than
... He knows lots, and he's actually, really smart with all of
them, and with Windows Server, and with Linux (technically, just
another Unix, right?) which is a little scary sometimes, but
it's great to have his help on projects that involve more than
just one thing.<br>
<br>
Nothing beyond June yet, but Mike Burton and I are going to work
on getting VMware booked, and I'd like to have Jeff Haemer out
at some point to talk about Amazon Web Services and Crawford to
talk about BBB (Big Blue Button, a presentation Will might
actually come to), and Dave Anselmi has a mess of contacts to
tap (Zooko? What kind of name is Zooko?).<br>
<br>
It is my intention to deliver "How to do technical presentations
that suck less." as a series of short talks in the old KISS
window (6:30pm to 7PM).<br>
<br>
I'll start in February with:<br>
<br>
"Integrity and Energy - The game is usually won by the guy who
shows up, on time, shouting passionately about something or
other that you too ought to be very excited about."<br>
