Hey Gang, I think Craig, John and Jeff's ideas are great.
A fifteen minute presentation is perfectly acceptable. We don't have to go a full hour for these and arguably the longer they are the less interested people are as time goes by. These presentations were only meant to be fast introduction kind of stuff, nothing too in-depth. Having said that, I certainly don't mean to discourage anyone from doing longer presentations. If you get the right presenter, it can work very well. And this is not meant as a slight against any of the past presenters. I thank you all again for stepping forward and volunteering to share this information with the group. It has made a significant difference to our meetings. People appreciate the topics you cover, myself included. We definitely want to try and always have a backup presentation in the wings, there's no reason that we can't have a few. Keep up the great work everyone! Now would be a good time to make any suggestions as to what kind of presentations you would like to see. This way we can hopefully match up topics with people willing to present them.
