March 25th. NewTLUG meeting: 1) Talk on Talks 2) Organization and Preferences (reminder)

[Herb Richter]

This month's NewTLUG meeting will be held
Tues March 25th.,
at the IBM offices 3600 Steeles Ave E.

**Important**

This meeting is free and all are welcome, however, all attendees will be
required to have a security badge. Badges should be prepared in advance.
If you plan to attend, please send your name to Paul (off-list at
<pmora-G1DYhSM1WHTQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org>), preferably by Monday Mar 24. ...and please be sure
to return badges to the front reception at the end of the session.

Thanks:	to Paul for helping NewTLUG not only by arranging for a room and hosting
our meetings at IBM but also with looking after the badges.

Badges:	please email Paul Mora <pmora-G1DYhSM1WHTQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org> to pre-register


Date and Time:	Tues March 25, 7-10pm


Topics:

1)  Talk on Talks:

Paul Mora (who *always* gives great presentations) will do a talk on "how
to give a TLUG presentation", and put together a list of things to
remember when giving a talk.


2) Organization and Preferences:

We would like re-organize NewTLUG somewhat to better meet the needs of
members.  Particularly, we would like to discuss the meeting format,
meeting topic selection and if we should (re)start a NewTLUG web site.

We are wondering if we have been pitching topics that we think are cool,
but maybe people aren't getting what THEY want out of the meetings.
Perhaps we need a bigger group of "speaker seekers".

A web site could be for members to post stuff, like their presentations,
for meeting schedules and for posting other interesting links.


Q&A:

There should be lots of time for questions and answers, likely in the
recent UU style format, hosted by Colin McGregor <colinmc151-bJEeYj9oJeDQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org>


Après-meet:

After the meeting some will adjourn to a local coffee shop for continued
discussion and general world problem solving.


Location:

IBM offices 3600 Steeles Ave East, north side of Steeles at Pharmacy/Esna
Park (between Victoria Park and Warden)
