At the last meeting I mentioned that we need speakers for up coming meetings. I, however, do no have the contacts that many of you have in the Linux and Floss world. I have topic ideas, but no speakers... This is your group too and the BOD can only do so much. I will be posting a link in the next coming days with a list of topics. If you feel you can do a talk, or know of someone who can, on any of them, please reach out (speakers@gtalug.org). I still have no speaker for next week, not for the lack of trying. Thank you, Alan. *A*lan *H*eighway <http://heighway.ca/> heighway.ca 416-712-5247 VA3WAH / VA3YKZ [image: Please consider the environment before printing]

Hey Alan, Really was looking forward to your OBS talk tonight; I hope the family is alright! This thread is peculiar. I came to several of the AI meetings & asked about a list of upcoming talks and how they're submitted. At those sessions, it was suggested to me that this is taken care of solely by the BOD or those in the circle; therefore, I assumed it was invite only. The May meeting also suggests it's request topics only -- not submit or wrangle others to submit. Perhaps a submission form can be added to the website, for those that stumble upon GTALUG but haven't yet joined the ML. As for talk requests, I'd love to have the likes of Avery Pennarun (Tailscale) or Allan Jude (ZFS / ZFS on Linux) come and share their thoughts, but I'm not connected to them personally. Warm regards, -- Mark Prosser // E: mark@zealnetworks.ca // W: https://zealnetworks.ca
I like the idea of a candidates form. I should ask Fred Weigel if he would talk about leading a team maintaining ZFS. --dave On 6/10/25 21:09, Mark Prosser via talk wrote:

Good suggestions, I am planning on getting the list of suggested topics and speakers up in the website. I also want to put a submission form for speakers up too. I plan to do the OBS talk in August.

OBS is one of the programs discussed in this video about making YouTube videos with Linux. So you you want a 40,000 foot altitude type overview regarding why / where you might want to use OBS : https://youtu.be/PEFqdqRr18E?si=uwgtro-pI6gV9fxr Colin.

I may have a talk about "time budgets" this summer. It's about not letting programs get any slower than they have to. Not for June (:-)) --dave On 6/12/25 08:31, o1bigtenor via Talk wrote:

Those are great ideas. Alan Jude often has the Hamilton BSD Users Group meeting which starts an hour before GTALUG's general meeting. Although those are quite informal, so if he had the desire, I don't think the Hamilton BUG conflict is insurmountable. He's also on the 2½ Admins podcast which is a great resource for Linux, ZFS, and FreeBSD enthusiasts. https://2.5admins.com/ Also, I just learned that TailScale is a Canadian company. I had no idea. TailScale is a WireGuard VPN service implementation that works with home / businesses, even printers. It is *not* for bypassing region locks.
