 +** Breaking space is a fun thing to use here. The dokuwiki method is
 +** to use two '\' characters, followed by a single space to create the 
 +** newline without converting it to a new paragraph. This can only be 
 +** used at the end of a line.
 +**
 +** Ordered or unordered lists are two apaces at the beginning of the 
 +** line, followed by a '*' for unordered or '-' for ordered.
 +**
 +** deeper indentation for indented lists

 +  - Scott Murphy will give a talk/demonstration of using a greaseweazel for floppy data recovery.
 +    - We had a somewhat recent list discussion on recovering data from floppy disks that realistically do not have current support or hardware. 
 +    - The talk will be an absolute beginner's attempt to recover some of that data and by "beginner's attempt", it means I have not previously attempted to read "foreign" diskettes from 40+ years ago, so this is a brand new thing for me to try.
 +  - John Nash has a short talk on the annual burden of tax filing, PDFs, and using pdftk. A usual, there are unanticipated challenges with even what appears to be the simplest of things.
 +  - JF Messier may have an item to discuss as well. Assuming we have not run out the clock at this point.
