According to <http://gtalug.org/> : "GTALUG is currently looking for speakers for the 9th December, 2014 meeting. If you are interested in speaking please contact our talks coordinator." Let's brainstorm on this. Here's a poorly organized dump of some of my thoughts. - I'd love to hear Lennart talk about what he's learned working on routers. - I'd like to learn what each of you has learned using Linux (or perhaps, not able to do using Linux) and what your current Linux-related interests are. - I'd like to hear how people have set up their internet gatways. What's worth doing, what's easy, what's hard. (It's time for me to revisit this after having a pretty static setup for a decade. I'd be willing to talk about what I've done but it is pretty stale.) - I'm interested in setting up my in-house services like a cloud. Perhaps <http://owncloud.org/>. Motivation: I want to keep control of my own data as much as possible. Can anyone speak to this? - Subproblem of above: I run MediaWiki already. Tips and tricks (eg. from Drew) about care, feeding, and use would be welcome. - I'd be willing to share 10 minutes worth of what I've learned about little Windows gadgets as Linux platforms. - I'd love to discuss whether this is interesting and useful <http://www.banana-pi.com/eacp_view.asp?id=64> This is a version of the Banana Pi with an added ethernet switch: 5 x 1G eithernet ports. The Banana Pi is intended to mimic the Raspberry Pi in some ways but with a stronger processor; my impression has been that this is goofy and that the Cubieboard2 and Cubietruck <http://cubieboard.org/> were more transparent uses of the Allwinner chips. But gluing on a switch seems very attractive. - chatting about peoples' workflow always seems useful: it's not just the tools, its how we use them, how we find them useful, and where they don't quite meet expectations. Examples: backup methodology, distro update methodology, favourite editor (leave out tribalism), programming language, etc. - why Go is interesting <https://golang.org/>. Why Rust is interesting <http://www.rust-lang.org/>. Why Python 2.x still has a loyal following. - what are you doing with your _____? Example: Raspberry Pi. - How you make your mobile device work with your desktop? Summary: we've had Question and Answer sessions, how about an Answer and Question session? By that I meen: people give a mini-chat about something they think is interesting and have the rest of us ask questions in response.
