Future Meeting Topics

Here are some possible topics for future OCLUG meetings. \
Send mail to the OCLUG mailing list to suggest other topics or people who would be willing to give a presentation.

NOTE: We have plenty of topics – we need people to present. You need not be the expert – we have had considerable success with panel discussions that allow multiple “small” contributions. Contact any board member or post here if you can assist.
