Glad you had a good time! Normally, GLLUG meetings are actual meetings
rather than training sessions. The short and abridged story is that two
of the functions of the training sessions is to attract new users and to
get those with little experience up to speed so that the group as a
whole can begin working on open source and community projects. (At
least, that's how I understand it.) Eventually, we'll return to regular
and possibly more entertaining meetings. ;)

The list of sessions can be found in the calendar on the GLLUG web site,
but Jeff has the master list of who's doing what. I think the next few
sessions are full, but if you're knowledgeable on any specific topic,
most people won't refuse help!
