I am happy to work with someone else to do presentation on the following
topics:
Samba
Home networking
Samba: What would people like to see presented? Are we just going to
look at simple file shares or do people want to know how to set up their
linux box to provide windows print shares? Or linux desktop to print to
a windows printer? Or PDC authentication and home folders and profiles?
I have noticed quite a few posts in the past where people just want to
know about the simple file sharing stuff. The smb.conf file comes with
lots of demonstration stuff but really you only need a very small subset
to get something meaningful.
Home Networking: What would people like to see presented? 10 minutes
on TCP/IP address space - 192.168.0.0/16 ? Different home server
distros, what they include, how easy they are to set up and who on CLUG
is using what? How to set up the wan side for Telstra Clear or a
Telecom ADSL connection with a router? How to port forward (what is
port forwarding?) DMZ? What about ddns so people can set up their own
mail servers? Mail server tools - drop mail, sendmail, dovecot - simple
interfaces. What about WebMin? IPCop, ClarkConnect both come with
their own web GUI. Do you want some talk about the basic networking -
hardware - what you can do, what you can't do - 123 for dummies? How to
wire up your home? What about wifi? Would you like 10 minutes on how
to set up wifi, the do's and don'ts?
Cheers Don

I have been fiddling with the Wiki.
And have created a list here:
http://clug.net.nz/index.php/ProposedMeetings
which is a list that we put together at the last CLUG meeting.
It is a list of topics that those at the meeting thought might be
interesting.
If you think that you can give at least a semi-authoritative talk on any
of these please edit the Wiki appropriately and possibly also post
something to the list.
If your expertise is not on the list and you feel the inclination to
expound please either post to this post or off-list to me or edit the
Wiki appropriately.
Don't be shy!
I also changed the home page as the post about the Mike Culver talk was
still there and also Jim's post about changing to the new Wiki version
Also made changes elsewhere
Looking forward to the flood of volunteers!
Zane
