now don't go letting us grey-beards down like that!

 From the takes-one-to-know-one school of thought:
What you mean is: it has been so long since you organised a GLLUG talk, 
that maybe it's time to jump back in and show the young bucks how it 
should be done!?
(with style, flair, and panache - whoever they are)

- how Linux is adapting to the multi-core, multi-processor future
- tuning Linux so efficiently that it squeaks
- when to move from multiple OTS systems to a rack, ... to blades, ... 
to a cluster?
- aligning database techniques, eg partitioning, sharding (even RDBMS cf 
NoSQL) to hardware configuration/technology choices (eg above)
- uses for parallel processing even when you're not splitting the atom
- gotchas/issues when sharing buses, RAM, HD arrays/SANs, ...
- management software for a 'multi' environment
- programming languages and tools in a 'multi' environment
- what the sci-community can teach business people moving into Business 
Analytics and other heavy number-crunching/'big-data' applications
