I have the books now and will bring them to the meeting for the raffle. > 2.

My thinking is that we want to try a variety of Sounds good. Do you have any commitments yet? I know I offered a short list of things I could present on a while back but I don't recall what they were now. Nor do I recall if they were short, shallow topics. The only problem I see with doing mini-presentations is that most interesting things will need a computer to demo or present with and the setup time with the projector is always longer than we would like. I wish I had a laptop right now that I could let everyone use for their presentations. > 3. What's the status of projection equipment for Annex-C. Was last month > someone's personal projector?

Yes, I think a projector would be a good use of the clubs money. If you would care to do the research and spec one out and work out a way to manage the use of it I'm sure we could easily get the required buy-off to purchase it. Just remember that it would be the SDCS projector so the other user groups would have the right to use it also, although they are not nearly as active as KPLUG.

If needed, could we get one before August 10? I doubt we could get one befoer August 10th at this point but it is still worth pursuing. > > 3d.

Whatever you recommend would go over just fine I'm sure. -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
