I think we had a chat about this at one of the meetings.

 From memory, the sort of concensus was to keep HoS like it is now 
(because it works well), but slot in some other stuff in the sort of 
middle week of the month

Trips to various pubs were discussed.  We could maybe alternate the 
months for the middle event between something more social than HoS to 
something more techy.

I don't really like the Wylug lectures (although I have only been to 1). 
  I think we can be a bit more personal.

I'd be happy to lead a talk/workshop about something.

Suggestions for talks/workshops (things I do know something about):

Advanced Bash
Introduction to Java
Introduction to Perl
Introduction to Regular Expressions
Introduction to PHP
Introduction to MySQL
Java Servlets for Java programmers
Introduction to Haskell
HTML
Cascading Style Sheets

IP (like IP addresses, subnet masks, routing, NAT etc, maybe Bind and DNS)

Samba
Compiling the Linux kernel
How to install Debian
Printing under Linux, with Cups and Foomatic/cupsomatic
SSH/SCP  (There is loads you probably never knew about)
Imap

Linux Servers for small businesses (Using 
Gnu/Linux/Samba/exim/UW-ImapD/Mozilla/ipmasq to replace 
WinNT/exchange/outlook/MS Proxy for windows clients)

******hich somebody else had better do, because I don't understand it 
very much


Things I'd like to learn:

Introduction to Make - (something I've never got around to getting the 
hang of)

php-gtk
tcl/tk
awk
All that XML, XSL and related bits.  (document creation using XML)

Samba as a primary domain controller in a win2k network (except it is 
all that active directory stuff now - my windows is getting rusty)

Python
LaTex


All just suggestions
