[GLLUG] Meeting Presentations

[Chick Tower]

As those of you who come to meetings know, we don't have many 
presentations any more.  Something some of us have discussed are what 
has been referred to in other places as lightning talks.  They're short 
presentations, with several per meeting, so that nobody has to prepare a 
lengthy one.  We could have a theme for each meeting, with short talks 
from people about the theme, such as favorite applications of a 
particular genre (e-mail clients, file managers, whatever might be 
informative)(not emacs vs. vi types of talks), favorite search engines, 
favorite PC-related shopping sites, general or special-use 
distributions, or anything anyone cares to suggest.  Whatever people are 
interested in.  We could also have some themeless talks, too, just a 
hodge-podge of topics.

What does everyone think about this?  Would you be more likely to 
contribute a short presentation than a long one?  Should we select a 
particular meeting or two each month, such as the first or second 
Thursday?  I'm just asking questions, and hoping for responses.
