Now that the announcement for next meeting has gone out, can someone tweak the BALUG web page a bit.

Although I'd be flattered if someone thought: "Michael Paoli will be doing a presentation." would itself generate a big draw of interested folks, I'd guestimate most folks seeing that on the BALUG page would more likely wonder who or what is a "Michael Paoli" and what is the presentation on?

Anyway, suitable suggested "briefest" and "compact" suggested text blurbs are available here: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2005-September/000068... and also reproduced a bit further below.

I might suggest using either and/or both of those suggested blurbs (or some reasonable approximation thereof), and linking it to the archived announcement: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2005-September/000... so folks could follow that link and read more of the details there.
