Subject: [Cialug] Next AmesLUG topic

Does anyone have any good ideas for a future Ames LUG topic?

As Matt and Joanna are hopefully going to be busy soon with their new offspring (after all, they need to teach their child CW at a young age).  I'm trying to step up and help out a bit more with the club.


If you have any ideas for a future topic, please speak up.  Unless I/we hear anything soon, I'll plan on a virtual machine demo and discussion next time.  I seem to remember some comments and questions about what exactly one is and how to use it.  Maybe a few folks can bring a laptop to show off their virtual machine setup so those who are less informed may become enlightened.  And those of you weeping and gnashing your teeth over wireless issues, are happy to bring those along as well.

Even if the VM session sounds fine, please suggest a future topic or square table discussion.  DD-WRT could be a possibility, wireless issues, a new distro or some really cool app.  You name it.
