We've been planning to run the July PLUG West meeting as lightning talks. We had one volunteer at the previous meeting, but we need more! The rules are simple: get up and talk about something Linux-y or FOSS-y for ten minutes or less (we're going for ten minutes instead of five). It's a mini-presentation where the rest of the rules and the topic are up to you. It doesn't have to be deep (you only have ten minutes, after all), you don't have to be an expert, and if you're nervous, don't worry: it'll be over quickly! Hit ten minutes, and you'll be gonged out to make way for the next speaker. Have you installed a new software package recently? Had to figure out something tricky for your Linux system? Tell us about it. To start things rolling, I'll volunteer to talk about Xgl, the hyper-spiffy accelerated X Server. I finally managed to get it working over the weekend, and wobbly windows make good demo fodder. Who else wants to volunteer? It's fun, and can be a great way to inspire yourself to learn something new!
