interesting to people.
It seems to me that if we know what people want to hear about, it should
be relatively straight-forward to find someone willing to investigate it
and present it to the group. (Assuming there isn't already someone in the
group familiar with it.)
Me, I'm an old-school geek. I'm not at all an end-user. However, to draw
a larger group to the meetings, we want to make sure our presentations
appeal to a broad group of people... including new people at times.
My interests include:
* doing cool things in Python
* automation of regular/boring activities
+ Expect, PyExpect
+ Shell scripting
* build systems
+ Make, SCons
+ Subversion, other VCS
* World domination
+ Tools to take over the hearts and minds of the world
* Rogue-like games
+ Development, thereof
* Text-based user environments
+ Ncurses, S/Lang, etc.
+ Extended (and extending) terminal emulators
Things I've done recently include:
* migrated from Evolution to Mutt
+ Outlook Meetings supported through 'mical' and a Bash/Dialog
script I wrote myself.
+ integrated use of 'abook' addressbook; mutt aliases are updated
based on changes in abook.
* some relatively minor still-picture work with Video4Linux2
* on-going development of my own terminal emulator using Python/Tk
Things I could do presentations on:
* GNU Make and why Makefiles go bad
* Migrating from Evolution to Mutt
* Creating GDM themes
