I'm all in on the sausage and burgers after 4/12!! :-) :-)  But in any 
case, we shouldn't drive the meetings according to diet, absolutely 
right....

What do others think about this?  I remember back in the day we used to 
have 1 kind of high-level presentation (like maybe how to setup bind, 
for example) that we really tried to sink our teeth into, and then 
sometimes a second, fluffier, topic (eg. one time I did one on an early 
password manager desktop program).  I'm worried 2 30 minute 
presentations might be both too much for my brain, and not enough time 
devoted to a topic that might need it.  For eg., I could certainly 
introduce DD-WRT and go over the feature list and use-cases in 30 
minutes, but I couldn't demonstrate how to flash your router with it, or 
do any hands-on stuff.

On that note, do we have a projector or large screen we can use for 
presentations??
