Everyone is invited to add to this page with suggestions for future meetings.

Presentation/Talk Suggestions

I will do a brief 5 or 6 point talk on Samba, covering these Kiplingesque features:
- What are the origins of Samba?
- Why is it important?
- When did the Samba project start?
- How did it get to where it is now?
- Where do I go for more information?
- Who is this French waiter, anyway?
If WYLUG does not, I suggest that early in the new year we have a meeting based around the 10 most important uses of bash.
In a crazy fit of presentationism (is that a word?) I'd like to do a quick presentation on Bash Tips & Tricks, most of which will be gleaned from a a presentation at the UKUUG Linux 2003 conference I went to. I use bash every day and some good tips & tricks are all it takes to save lots of time. - Chris
I might also do one on Asterisk, the Open Source PBX, one of these days.
Installing software
- On SuSE, using rpm
- On Gentoo, using portage
- On any reasonable distro from source
- For thrill seekers, from CVS head

Does key signing actually do any good?
I understand that some of us would like to see a demonstration of QEMU. Anyone know enough about keeping several operating systems in captivity to deliver on this.

In keeping with our policy of being friendly and welcoming to Linux newcomers, we should either have sessions on bash in the early part of this year, or better have a quick five or six minutes on one 'interesting' feature of bash at each meeting.
- backticks
- Command history, history file
- Customising the prompt
We should have a long running feature on Unix and Sys admin 'folklore'.
- wheel group
- Origin of the term daemon
- Waving a dead chicken
We should have at least one session on Linux Annoyances
