The committee seeks opinions from SLUG:With any meaningfull exposure to Linux only measured in months, I consider myself very much a novice. I have set up three machines within that period (mail/proxy server + firewall, file server and router, with a few more on the way) and had to acquire some working understanding of Squid, Postfix, Procmail, Fetchmail, Courier, IMAP maildirs, MySQL, basic IP tables and NAT. I still have to face Bind, Apache, Free/Swan, innd and pidentd in the short term - like, next month or two - which is where my immediate interest would be with respect to possible topics. Other than that, I'll be tackling workstation issues in the near future with problems of mixing and matching components which tend to be very specific in their requirements - eg. "drivers for Wildcat graphics cards require RH7.3 and motherboards with Intel 7505 chipset", but this combination does not work with something else that I need, etc. There are other, industry specific issues as well, but I don't expect much happening on that front in the next year or two.
We're presently trying to aim our selection of talks at as broad a spectrum of users as possible -- our regulars range from newbies to old hands. We don't want to run exclusively "old hand" talks, but we also don't want to cater only to newbies. This is a hard balance to achieve, so we'd like some input about what you'd like to see at SLUG meetings.
What talks would you like to see at a SLUG meeting? (If you've never been to a meeting, answer the question "What talk would lure you to your first ever meeting?")
I'd also be interested in hearing about what you aren't interested in hearing about at SLUG meetings.
An example response is something like: I'm a home user, I want to hear about using the Web and reading my email on Linux, I don't want to hear about configuring a web server on Linux.
Feel free to suggest some specific talks that you'd like to see.
