Being sent to our two panelists for the Wednesday, March 5 presentation
on Raspberry Pi, as well as to the Volunteers list:

Bob Smith <bsmith at linuxtoys.org>
Paul Zander <paulz at ieee.org>

Guys, thanks for stepping forward.  This is going to be fun for you as
well as everyone else, and that's what it's all about.

As you'll see from the http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug-announce/
archive, the meeting announcement needs:

o names of the panelists and whatever affiliation they want to state.
  If you don't tell me something else, I'll go with 'Bob Smith and 
  Paul Zander, longtime SVLUG members'.  Your option, if you want to
  supply something different.

*** OK for me.

o Talk title.  Default will be 'Raspberry Pi Workshop and Demo', but 
  again you can tell me what you prefer.

***  OK for me.

o Talk description.  This is 1-2 sentences where you say what the 
  talk (/event)'s about.  Along with the title, this is your most 
  effective space to get across to people why they should want to 
  attend.

*** I had been thinking for about a digital project using current technology.  I friend told be about the Raspberry Pi.  For $35, I put my order on the wait list without knowing what I would do.  After a bit of experimenting I have a Linux laptop that could be reproduced for about $100.

o 'More about the speaker'.  Here, you would need to provide something
  about yourselves or I wouldn't have anything.  With some speakers, 
  if they don't say anything, we can get bio information off their 
  or their employers' Web pages.

*** I have taken the strategy that if I can't hide from the NSA, I will overwhelm them.  A Google on my name gives multiple pictures and several thousand hits, even after thinning out the surgeon and the bloke in Australia.  My ham radio call sign gives 24000 hits, some in languages I can't read

Seriously, I will get back to you with a brief bio.

Please help us out by providing the above stuff.  Otherwise, we'll
just wing it, and I'd rather the text be what you guys want.

I remember that Paul said specifically he wanted to welcome other
Raspbery Pi owner/enthusiasts to bring theirs and participate.  That can
be made clear in the talk description.  If you want, you can also
recruit additional panelists on the main mailing list, but I'd suggest
saving time and keeping things simple by going with what we have.

Thanks, folks,
