Just a suggestion, if more folks would do presentations on Linux, then there would be more presentations on Linux. I was president of another group elsewhere, and I can attest it is very difficult to find a continuing set of original topics and speakers.
Anytime someone want to talk on any subject it is a breath of fresh air to the organizers. So if anyone wants to do a presentation on Linux or most related FLOSS subjects, I am sure it will be warmly received. Personally, even a proprietary application that interacts or relates would be acceptable. Thinking Netapp, Cisco, or other hardware or utility software, etc. would be of interest, just not a steady diet, and keep the sales droids to 5 minutes, but let their techies ramble! Other related topics could be: the impact of Linux and FLOSS on products and product development, OR on the new re-rising 'maker culture', OR on society in general and how it helps or hinders. Just some ideas that I am NOT qualified to speak about! ... Jack David Cintron wrote: > This seems completely reasonable given the name of the group is > Nashville Linux Users Group.
