[wellylug] Meetings for 2009

[Jethro Carr]

I forgot to add as well:


I am very keen to hear from anyone who would like to do a presentation
at one of the meetings sometime in the next few months.

Presentations are really important for the meetings so I'm really keen
to get more people doing them.


This could be about some cool open source project you're involved with,
a Linux deployment your company has done, howtos for a particular topic,
etc,etc.

They don't have to be long or complex - it could be 10min short talk, or
2 hour long detailed presentation, anything is fine.


If you could do a presentation but are a bit nervous about talking in
front of others, come along and give it a go - Wellylug is an ideal
venue to get used to doing presentations in front of others, as it's a
small, low pressure, relaxed group.


So - please send me an email if you would be interested in doing a
presentation. :-)

regards,
jethro
