Short notice speaker request

Hello everyone:
My IEEE consultant's group, which is meeting next week, has had our
planned speaker cancel at the last minute.  I'm trying to round up
somebody to speak on a technology-related topic.  I know I've heard some
good PLUG presentations in the past, but I'm not sure who has done
what.  In particular something of general interest, such as computer
security or the Myth TV project or web page development, would be good.
The meeting is this coming Thursday, which I think is the same night as
the east-side PLUG meeting.  Here are the details:

Time: 6:30 PM, second Thursday of the month (1/12/06)
Place: The Denny's at Scottsdale and Osborn (they have a nice meeting
room in the back)
We normally chat for a while and order food, and the presentation is
usually done around 8 but we'll make it earlier if the speaker prefers. 
We'll pay for the speaker's meal (yeah, we're big spenders.  :-) )
It doesn't have to be anything long.  I think the presentations are
usually a half-hour to an hour.  We try to get out of there by 9 or 9:30
at the latest.
We're all pretty computer-savvy, though mostly Windoze or Mac people. So
you couldn't assume in-depth Linux knowledge, but at least we all know
what it is.

I know this is late notice so I certainly understand if nobody steps
forward.  But I'd greatly appreciate it, and it could certainly be a
recycled PLUG presentation.

Please contact me ASAP if you might be interested or need more info.
BTW, our meetings are always open to non-members, in case any of you are
interested in the consulting business.  If the speaker wants to bring
friends along for moral support, we welcome that, too.

Thanks!
Vaughn
