Next meeting topic? (April 1st)

[Alan Dayley]

We are coming up quickly on the next meeting date.  I would like to pin
down a topic well before the day before.

There was a March offer from Rob for a presentation on one of these topics:

Design Patterns
Embedded Linux et al
C++ Programming

Perhaps we can get him to present this April instead.

The list of all the other topics is at the bottom of this email.

Now, there were several offers to present many of these topics.  However,
it seems to be the case that the person is willing but the schedule is
weak.  In other words, many people want to present but can't make it on
the meeting day in question.  So, with this email, I'd like to start two
discussions:

1. Let's get a topic and presenter for the next meeting.  That would be on
Thursday, April 1st.  Email me or the list if you want to present on that
day.

2. If you want to present a topic, you can look at the calendar and pick a
first Thursday to offer the presentation.  In other words, if you have or
want to voluteer as a presenter, pick the day you want to offer to
present.  Then I don't have to ask every month and you know what you
committed to.  :^)  Just email me with the topic and meeting day you want
to have.  First come, first serve.
