Hi
The June meeting on professional graphic design seems a bit specialised to me.  
Currently I am trying to learn some Ruby, and one thing I want to do next is 
to find out how to use it in conjunction with a graphics package.  Is there 
anyone in the group who can expand this into a talk about graphics with Ruby 
(or perhaps Perl) and Qt (or perhaps Tk)?  That might widen the interest.

I'm sceptical about a presentation for people in education.  What would we do 
with it?  Put selected highlights on the website?  I think it might just turn 
into a general moan.
