<pre class="k9mail"><br />Okay. I think that a short event night would work out. Maybe have<br />people give talks that are from 5-15 minutes in length, with the<br />emphasis being on informal and low-stress? We could even say "no<br />slides" or "demo only".<br /><br />Do we have some offers? There are lots of topics, some not directly<br />related to Linux: <br /><br />- Khalid talking about his adventures in free TV (maybe slides would<br />be necessary for this, since Khalid is not willing to give a live<br />demo of mounting an antenna at SJK)<br />- Cranky talking about cutting the cord<br />- Somebody talking about a new release of <distro> (eg Ubuntu 14.04)<br />- Bob/Brian talking about their Bits and Bytes evangelism/installfest<br />- Helpful Firefox/Chrome plugins<br />- Living life on the commandline<br />- Buying FLOSS-friendly hardware in 2014<br />- Something about FLOSS tools in the maker movement<br />- How to make a podcast using FLOSS tools (I don't think I should<br />suggest this as a possibility..) <br /><br />There are lots more, I'm sure. <br /><br /><br />As for Bob's suggestion: I guess we could do a social night, but I<br />would prefer for us to schedule one explicitly. Using social nights as<br />backups for missed talks is a bad precedent. However, if lots of<br />people want a social night then we could do this.<br /><br />- Paul<br /><br /><br /><br />On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 06:47:54PM -0400, Tim Laurence wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">Yeah but finding people to speak for 10 minutes should be easier.
