[clue-tech] Additional study groups and/or topics?

[Collins Richey]

I'm just curious to know if there are others who might be interested
in get-togethers outside of the CLUE once-a-month meeting and
Installfests for the purpose of establishing / extending one or more
study groups for Linux and Linux-related topics? What I don't have in
mind is another venue where presentations are made, but rather a
sharing of ideas and interests and (potentially) food and booze. In
general, the term Birds of a Feather comes to mind.

Some current interests that I have (in no particular order)  - I'm
sure you can think about many more:

Ubuntu - particularly Xubuntu - and Debian topics in general
CentOS and other Red Hat related topics
Web development - especially PHP and MySQL/PostgreSQL
The free version of Oracle
SQL - beyond the basics
Gimp - how to make it really work
Inkscape
OpenOffice
Networking and Security for the home user
Linux advocacy and winning new users
<fill-in-your-favorite-topic>

Such a group or groups wouldn't necessarily need a forever fixed
topic, but rather could plough through any number of topics as
interests ebb and flow.

Potentially the topics from such meetings could deveop into KISS or
other presentations for the main CLUE group. If you can't find
presenters or event coordinators, grow your own <grin>.

I'm pretty much a South and East person, but nothing would prevent
this type of meetings in the North area as well.

Just my $.02.
