[Rick Moen]

Quoting Andrew Fife (andrewbfife at yahoo.co.uk):

> Just a quick note to keep everyone in the loop on potential speakers
> for 2010.  We recently had an offer from Owen DeLong to speak about
> migrating applications from IPv4 to IPv6 and hopefully get a date
> confirmed shortly.  I've also recently written to the following folks
> to see if they are interested in speaking at SVLUG:
> 
> Josh Gay - Open Textbooks Amanda McPherson - Linux Foundation Mark
> Terranova & Grant Bowman - Ubuntu 9.10
> 
> My goal is to leave in incoming President & Vice President with a
> cushion of several months speakers already lined up.  

Thanks, Andrew!

I've just now caught up on Web site maintenance, and wish to call
people's attention, yet again, to our standard place for ideas and 
leads on future speakers.  It's the "TBA" page, which you'll find
linked from the bottom of the main meetings page.  Direct link:

http://www.svlug.org/tba.php


The intent of that page is to house _every_ credible idea or lead, that
anyone has raised on Volunteers or elsewhere.  Entries get rubbed out
only if either the suggested talk has finally occurred (/been scheduled), 
or if for various reasons they're no longer feasible.  E.g., I just
removed two that Ed Cherlin suggested he might give, because he's
recently moved with his family to Indiana.


Short summary of what's currently on that page:

There you have twenty-one leads on speakers/topics, some of them actual
_offers_ from available people.

So, please do not forget the TBA page.  (I maintain the page, but I 
do _not_ line up speakers.  If nobody else does that bit, then it 
just doesn't happen.)
