[Lincoln LUG] meeting format and my hellos

[tom bruton]

maybe if we meet at 7 then talk starts around 7.15 till 7.45/8.15 this give
people a chance to get there and still gives plenty of time after. Ideally
we would have a projector I'm sure somebody can rustle up one.

Who else has would like to do a talk?

How are we promoting the group, would anybody be willing to write a column
for a local mag or paper, promote the group on there website (my security
site will be up soon), is somebody up for running a Facebook group for the
site. would be cool to see everybody getting involved in growing this group
as I think it really does has potential and everybody is really friendly
(well so far)
