It's now 6 days away. In the absence of any strong feedback lets make some 
decisions.

I'll give a short talk on Qemu. I don't expect it to be anything particularly 
heavy, just 10 minutes with a few slides/demonstrations.
I'm hoping people will ask questions, and maybe get a bit of discussion going. 
I'll be disappointed if there aren't any hecklers ;-)

Sounds good.

Seconded. Maybe I'll start a wiki page so that people can (a) suggest things 
they'd like to hear about, and (b) volunteer to talk about things.
Attendance has been particularly poor recently, so I'm hoping a bit of 
direction will encourage people to attend. Your LUG needs you!

Vox Bar sounds as good as anything, so I say we go for that. We can always go 
somewhere else next month if it isn't to our collective liking.

I'm currently in the process of updating the wiki to reflect the contents of 
this email.
