Message-ID: <1263793249.1619.29.camel@localhost.localdomain> Hi guys, The list of speakers with topics ready to go has run dry. Typically we have two half hour workshops a night:- * A basic one aimed at new users, something with immediate relevance. Typically this will be a demonstration of a GUI application. * An advanced one, which may involve the CLI, heavy jargon, and references to Red Dwarf. But there's no reason we couldn't have more, shorter, topics. If you're willing and able to speak, or if you have a topic you want to hear, say so and we'll get you on the agenda. Also, thanks to Robin for hosting the BBQ last week. It was good to catch up with fellow Linux enthusiasts in your spacious home.
