[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting: Monday 9 Jul 2007

[Dave Fisher]

Dear All,

Our next meeting will be on Monday 9 Jul 2007 in Leeds University's
Stoner Building.

The meeting room is sign-posted from the main Stoner Building entrance

The meeting officially starts at 7.00 pm, but the room will be open for
coffee, tea, biscuits and chat from 6.30 pm. 

Tom Hall will be extending his June talk on the ZFS filesystem to give us the
full range of demos that we didn't have time for this month.

I think that pretty much everone who attended the June meeting will agree with
me that we had two of the most interesting talks for a very long time. So I'd
like to take this opportunity to thank John Leach and Tom Hall, once again, for
delivering them. Both were exemplary in quality and content. Indeed, I can't
remember the last time that two such topics generated so much 'after-hours'
discussion in the pub.

I'd also like to encourage anyone who missed the first part of Tom's talk to
come along to see the demos.  On the basis of June's experience, I very much
doubt that anyone will have trouble following and enjoying the demos, just
because they missed the first part of the talk.

==============================
Appeal For Speakers and Topics
==============================

There's still a slot open alongside Tom at July's meeting, but I'd also like to
remind everyone, that we have a lot of future meeting slots to fill.

Generally speaking it's a lot easier for both presenters and organisers if we
can plan things well in advance.

With that in mind, I'd also urge any member who doesn't feel qualified to
present a talk themselves, but is keen to hear someone else explaining a
particular topic, to make suggestions on the wylug-discuss list.

Dave
