When 'der Hans' and I were talking about topics, I gave him a 
link to any number of topics I can discuss without further 
preparation from my consulting practice:
    http://www.owlriver.com/tips/
which also outlinks to:
    http://www.colug.net/presentations/
and he chose 'CentOS'

I find that LUG people are really interested in 'real world' 
work done using Open Source tools for paying customers, and so 
'sanitize' work done for customers, publish the sources to 
fully meet (surpass actually) GPL obligations at:
    http://www.owlriver.com/projects/ORC/
and write up some presentation notes as documentation and 
present at the next LUG my travels take me to.  The page at:
    http://www.colug.net/lugs.php
was initially assembled by me for MY convenience so I can 
schedule trips to match local LUG meeting timetables.

I tend to have strong opinions on FOSS and am trained as and 
enjoy being an advocate [U Mich Law School ;) -- but as I was 
there, I was also writing a LISP to implement RPG II printmask 
drivers on a Sycor 340 -- a very early 8080];  I always try to 
be respectful to local leaders, and I greatly respect 'der 
Hans' efforts on behalf of the Linux / BSD / LOPSA 'nix 
community here in the Valley; locals may not know it, but he 
casts a long shadow, and I listen as he speaks.

Hope all had fun.  The 'aftermeeting' lasted another hour in 
the parking lot  ;)
