For a group like BLUG, it seems to me that the topics are going to have
to depend very much on what people are willing to talk about. Having
said that, it seems like that some effort should be made to alternate
really basic talks that would be of interest to new members with more
advanced talks that would be of interest to people who would themselves
be interested and able to give talks.

It might also be a good idea to start each meeting by asking whether
people have topics that they would hope someone would give a talk on.
There is a basic problem there, what we want may not match what anyone
can talk on. For example, I want a talk on setting up GIS (geographic
information systems), and probably do a few more people, but we don't
seem to have anyone to give the talk.
