That first one looks very interesting.
I have also volunteered for an extension of my earlier talk on DB and
SQL stuff if anyone is interested.
And/or PHP SQL programming.
However this may not have such big interest.
Chris has also bullied me into helping with finding speakers. :-/
So I will also be on the lookout.
But with that said if anybody sees or hears of someone who does
something cool with Linux or similar then let's try to convince them to
give us a talk at a CLUG meeting.

Zane
