I would like to see a wider variety.  Right now its all low level
engineering type programming (kernel modules, device drivers and
embedded stuff), very little programming techniques or concepts.  No
introduction to new languages or such.  No database programming etc...

The PLUG meetings fell into the same groove for about a year a while
back, where virtually every meeting had to do with system administration.

My Two Cents,
