MEETING: PLUG This Thurs (3/12)

[PLUG Announcements]

Topics for this months meeting:

First speaker:
Brian Cluff - Hidden features of the Kdenlive video editor

Brian will cover a number of very useful features he has found while 
editing the videos he shots of the Phoenix Linux Users Group.

Second Speaker:
Aaron Lokote Jones - Virtual Private Servers: A short overview
Topic Level: Beginner

A VPS or Virtual Private Server is an affordable tool that can be used 
to help you learn how to administer a web facing Linux installation, 
augment your day to day activities, or simply become a source of fun. 
During the talk we will explore a VPS, learn what kind of software is 
available for a VPS and how that can be used to enhance your day to day 
computer use, and how much it could potentially cost.
