If we don't have a speaker for the 2005-11-15 meeting, I could do a follow-up/follow-on from last month's meeting, and cover at least a bit of shell mini-demo stuff, and mostly have time for questions and answers.
If we're still looking for additional stuff to do/cover at the 2005-11-15 meeting (shell mini-demos and questions and answers may not necessarily fill all that much time ... then again, folks might reach their fill of presentation on shell stuff, since we already covered lots of that at the Oct. meeting) ... I could also toss in a mini-demo/presentation on "why I like Fvwm" - it's an X11 Window manager ... anyway, that might be useful for covering about 10 to 20 minutes, and could add some variety.
Anyway, I was thinking "we" (or I) should probably send out a meeting reminder/"announcement" soon (like, say, Thursday or so this week), so folks still have reasonable advance notice on such a "reminder" (and not so far in advance they're likely to forget again).
Any other "newsy" type stuff we'd want to include in "announcement"? Reminder in change on the dinner cost, and that we're not meeting in December, ... anything else (any confirmed speakers for next year or anything else to tag onto an announcement before the 2005-11-15 meeting?
Oh, ... and I could add a note about web materials from the presentation at the Oct. meeting (still need to push out the latest set of updates/ tweaks on those to the web).
Let me know, and I could send out the announcement (unless someone else is itching to do it).
And, random suggestion for the web site - tweak: "BALUG meets every third Tuesday of the Month", changing it to: "BALUG generally meets the third Tuesday of each Month" ... as we have occasionally skipped or changed the meeting date (e.g. like this December, or avoiding a conflict with a Chinese New Year's room booking). _______________________________________________ balug-admin mailing list balug-admin@lists.balug.org http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-admin-balug.org
As far as I am concerned please go ahead and "be" our speaker for November.
I will try to change to "generally" later today and update speaker to be Michael Paoli.
I hope someone else will make the announcement. I know Michael does not want to make the announcement as going to be the speaker and I do not blame him for not wanting to do it!
I will be out untill tonight, will check on things at that time!
