<br>
Thanks for the topic suggestion. I could talk about the differences between various distros perhaps and the history of them. Not sure I'll have that ready by Feb 1st though.<br>
<br>
I haven't used PCLinuxOS in a while but I did review it for the Linux Planet site about 10 years ago. Good to know it's still out there. I can certainly think of some suggestions for an alternative that might support your printer. We can have a chat about it next time.<br>
<br>
I'm sure we'd be happy to hear you financial story as well.<br>
<br>
See ya,<br>
<br>

There's nothing planned at the moment and all suggestions are welcome. Even if it's just topics you want to hear about and then we can try to find a speaker who can enlighten us.<br /><br />If you are considering giving a talk yourself but aren't sure it's worth remembering the following. It doesn't have to be massively techy, we're a friendly bunch and very welcoming. We aren't expecting some rehearsed masterpiece with a dozen detailed slides, it can just be an informal talk or perhaps a demo of some software or hardware you've been using that you want to share.<br /><br />Many conferences have what they term a "call for papers" when people submit ideas, so you can consider this a call for papers I suppose.<br /><br />I've given a few talks and for my part I will try to come up with something new and interested to present in the coming months.<br /><br />Anyone else up for it too?<br /><br />Dan</p><p></p></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
