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:

Volunteers :

<johnd@cavcomp.co.uk> / Will Dickinson :

Windows -> Linux Java Porting
Platform independent Java

Graham Swallow <lists@information-cascade.co.uk>

Tcl
Python
scripting + extensions - suggestions for sanity
C++ intro
IPTables firewall intro
SGML processing with SP, HTML generation using SPIN_py
HP/UX, AIX, Solaris, non-linux system monitoring (for those who must)

AlanP & associates !! (alandpearson@yahoo.com)

Nothing definite, but I feel with some arm twisting I can get :

Postgresql : Internals, what's new in 8.0 specifically from a programming perspective
OpenOffice : Coding and use of components in other projects
TCL : Internals & advanced programming
