TLUG meetings, topics and speakers

[richard-gNTHUr35LhcAvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org]

Hi all,

As discussed at the January meeting Colin McGregor and I are now sharing
the position of "TLUG talks organizer committee of putting things atop
other things".  It makes for a long business card.  ;-)  Our goals
include, posting meeting topics well in advance of meetings, encouraging a
diversity of presentation topics that appeal to attendees, encouraging a
diversity of speakers to present their topics.  You can reach us via talks
[a] mcgregor.org and talks [a] weait.com.

The schedule is currently clear for the rest of 2009.  We'd like to fill
it up a bit.

Please email the talks committee with:

a) Your topic suggestions.  Have an idea for a presentation topic that you
know people will come from miles around to see?  Suggest that topic to us.

b) Volunteer to speak.  Have a topic idea, and you are willing to deliver
the presentation to our attendees?  Awesome!

We'll be collecting these suggestions on an ongoing basis and scheduling
meetings as best we can.  Periodically, we may come to the list and ask
for your thoughts on a topic; is so-and-so too commercial?  And we may
present a list of the suggested / requested topics to solicit for a
presenter.

In the short term, we need a presenter and topic for the March meeting and
future meetings.  At the January meeting I volunteered to present
Introduction to OpenStreetMap on Tuesday 10 February 2009.  I look forward
to seeing all of you there.

Best regards,
Richard
