-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Kevin,
First off, thanks for stepping forward. I think another Samba presentation would be a good thing. > The prezzy should on be about 90 Mins, shouldn't it be? Some things will > need to be dropped. According to the website the Tech Prezzies should be 15 - 60 minutes. This is a guideline. Hence the introductory qualification for most of them. Some of the presentations last year ran long IMHO. When this happens you run the risk of losing your audience. This was particularly obvious with some of the programming presentations. This is no slight against any of the fine gentleman who presented Kylix, Python, Ruby or Compilers. Those are tough subjects to compress into an hour. I guess personally speaking I would appreciate the presentations staying within those timeframes as we do have other things to discuss during meetings. I also want to say for the record that I particularly enjoyed them even though they ran long. > Given my own guess, most people want to be able to connect a single Linux > desktop to a (spouses) Windows desktop and share files & printers in either > direction.

This would be what I personally would be interested in. I still don't have my network set up the way I would like. I've just reinstalled my laptop and my desktop and so I am in a good position to take advantage of something like this. I'm sure that I am not the only one that would be interested. FYI, I'm using CUPS as well : ) Since it may be a while till you are able to present, maybe take an informal poll either on the list or at a meeting. This is what John intends to do about a potential Kylix presentation. My wife is actually talking about taking the penguin for a spin on her laptop. The kids are still stuck playing Diablo, Warcraft and Counter-Strike on their machines so not too much hope there. I think learning Samba is a necessary evil. One last thing in this long missive. At least for the Linux side of things file sharing became easier for me with the aid of (Kio) Fish in Konqueror. (Thanks again Marcel) That is fun stuff. It doesn't address sharing a printer though... - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D CLUG Treasurer Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPi4XewCQFPa+bt49AQIvogP8DBG9v2CW0mLqfLPb2ivMjPuQ3Vtuvgbs BktLUnAc1OdnoLvc51W7vQ66aEA4R+Jvm7UVt0NAI41SSVizyQDKTSI77SRUOHlU uHYwZ/pHHDSEMDK47oIELsFecmoR4gIEksKOgpDxIcjKnmZ6vCJygYOmvKpUaaLq YmMHsWLtf0I= =aUp0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
