Okay John, Sounds good to me. If you are serious about it then by all means add yourself to the scheduled list of presenters (http://calgary.linux.ca/index.php?CLUG%20Technology%20Presentations)
I have put Shawn and I down for April. Maybe some discussion might be in order for how we manage these presentations. It has heretofore been a 'First-come-first-served' sort of thing. There are 12 slots open in a year so that doesn't give you a whole lot of choice. I don't think we want to overly complicate the process so I don't think voting on presentations is necessary. I think we are all adults here (not to be biased against the younger members). We don't appear to have this problem yet but I think that if you feel your presentation warrants bumping someone else's there's a couple ways it could be handled: a) talk to the presenter who you would like to bump to see if they would concede in letting you take their slot b) we could make an exception and do more than one presentation in a monthly meeting. c) we could set up a special meeting to go over something urgent (i.e.: security issues, something significant with the kernel) d) look at alternative forms of communication like the mailing list or IRC. You could schedule an online tech presentation on IRC or even the mailing list for that matter. There's some cool possibilities there. At any rate. I would like the Technology Presentations become a victim of it's own success. There are certainly enough things we could have talks about. We prove that every time we go out for drinks!
