+===== Planned Regular Meetings =====
-  * Outreach - to introduce more people to Linux %%**%% Work arounds %%**%% Equivalencies %%**%% Who are the target audiences? %%**%%* People who want server/websites %%**%%* People who want home/office based servers %%**%%* People who want to run a family/community server %%**%%* People who want alternatives to Facebook %%**%% Workshops for the public?
+==== July ====
-  * explicit "reviving old hardware" discussions
-  * Distro talk
-  * Scripting
-  * Lighting Talk night - Ignite format
-I’m thinking we should do a Linux Beginner session on a weekend, something along the lines of:
+  * Speaker: Scott Murphy
+  * Topic: How to do an Ignite talk
-  * Bring a recent vintage laptop that can boot from USB
-  * We will provide a linux distro on USB
-  * Boot into live mode
-  * Show that most cloud services are available
-  * Talk about other things we can do with it
-  * Talk about next steps
-Maybe we should build a large list of these, shuffle them up and offer them on alternate months to the fixed topics? of course we could always punt a session if something really good comes along
+  * Speaker: Renato Carrara
+  * Topic: Memory Errors
-the fixed topics are every three months in between, we are usually scrambling for topics so we could use this as topic material and offer a talk about one of them as a main or secondary topic and possibly have an additional talk or two of these.
+Possible ignite talks:
+  * How about 101 uses for an LED?
-It would be nice to set up the topics in advance and then have the entire year scheduled with an option to replace if we get someone with an idea or a guest speaker. It would help advertising the sessions as well.
+  * Ye Olde PDP Shoppe?
+  * Running RSTS for fun and Profit
-Tug: I think we should aim for a more distant planning, so people can actually get excited about a topic... instead of just plan on turning up assuming it will be exciting
+  * COBOL on the RaspberryPi
+  * Building better business applications
