Silicon Corridor LUG (Berkshire & Thames Valley)

Event organisation

SCLUG meets every month at a pub in Reading, but we'd also like to start running some technical talks and practical sessions. We're looking for volunteers to do talks & practical session, and below is a list of who has volunteered so far. If you have something you think you could talk about something Linux-related for, say, half an hour, then please make a note of it here and post some details to the mailing list. In the meantime, here are some suggestions from the mailing list:
