The Future of PLUG discussions have been great.  I think the new chairman is 
still nudging the group, despite what he says.  That is a good thing!

Meeting presentations happen because someone steps forward to present 
something.  If someone wants to present on a newbie topic, they should step 
forward and present.  Easy enough.

To solve the problem of boring the "oldbies" with newbie stuff or vice versa, 
a split meeting could be held.  Hold two presentations in different rooms at 
the same time.  You know, dual track:

"Now that we are done with announcements, people interested in the 
presentation on mail admin go to the room next door.  People interested in 
discussing which distro is right for you and how to install it, stay right 
here.  Come back in this room at 8:45 for the swag drawing."

All we would need is another room to meet in (which shouldn't be too hard) 
and someone to present the second topic.

Thats my $0.02 on that subject.
