Comments related to meeting suggestions ======================================= Command Line Concepts for Beginners - possibly multiple short presentations with multiple presenters. From past experience, 3 or 4 might be the most we could usefully pack into one meeting. Alternatively, one (or 2) short(s) could pair with a longer traditional presentation, providing joy to multiple audiences. :-) - might do some idea-prospecting (or even revive work on) prior writings http://www.kernel-panic.org/Members/pacneil/beginner/ http://www.kernel-panic.org/wiki/MeetingProgramIdeas http://www.kernel-panic.org/wiki/LinuxAnswers Entertainment Category - Flight simulator (type) programs - Board Games such as gnuchess - See if Robin Rowe might be available & amenable for another presentation (he gave one several years ago) -- either on his work with CinePaint (was Film Gimp), or anything else from his knowledge and/or involvement with the film industry. - Stir up other local experts on gaming (eg DJA?) Revisiting some additional basics (beginner-level) - General Networking - Wireless - Firewalls (& security) - WebCam, Dynamic DNS (& providing 'services') - *nix ownership, permissions, filesystem - file management, file migration and synchronization (how about rsync) - backup - archiving Other Notes =========== - San Diego ed-tech project (San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD)) http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/PFshowstory.cfm?ArticleID=7178 (reg reqd) http://www.edtech.sandi.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=177&Itemid=336 -- possible contacts: http://www.edtech.sandi.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=74&Itemid=504 Deputy Superintendent Geno Flores Doug McIntosh, an educational technology resource teacher article author Jordan Zebor, Distance Learning and Digital Media Specialist - thin clients (eg, LTSP) - vmware images for teaching/training - help & support infrastructure needed for promoting Linux Remarks ======= All of the above seems like good wiki fodder. Especially since there is such a good match to perpetual/recurring themes. ..but.. oh gee, organizing thoughts and actually getting things written down is _really_ hard work. :-[ Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
