Hmmm. I just had a shower (* where I do some of my best
Thinking*) and the idea came to me....
I am teaching CS 312 again this fall. What if I hand
out some of these topics as homework/paper assignments.
I would also like to find a way to have an outside audience
for some of the topics. But I don't know how to get 30
students to make a one hour presentation each... So
I think I will have to skip that part of it.
Would small write-ups be an interesting thing for
me to post?
I do have a sysadm-watchers list that is currently
underutilized. I could put that list on the class
mail list...
Anyway, a loose idea floating about, I will see if I can
hone it down some.

%
% In Eugene, we have a real meeting room, thanks to Bob Crandall of
% ComSource, with PCs and whiteboard. John Sechrest has some great meeting
% spaces in Corvallis at OSU too (btw, kudos to John for getting Hal
% Pomerantz to come speak... stuff like that is exactly why I'd like to see
% more...)
%
% Mike Smith is our meeting coordinator at this point, so I'll leave it to
% him to pop up (Mike, are you subbed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]?) and work out
% details.
%
% For topics with really popular broad topics, 2 meetings might be good,
% maybe with a delay on the second meeting for a few months (so if the first
% one wasn't well-done, maybe time to cancel or change) and allow planning
% of schedules...
%
% For less popular topics, maybe one meeting, and the people from the other
% town can carpool... Unlike going to Portland, Corvallis/Eugene is a
% reasonable trip.
%
% Both our groups always need volunteers to present, so anyone who wants,
% please speak up....
