I can do March 3 or April 7, I can also return every 3 months or so if 
desired.  Topics can be any of:

J2EE Web Application Development with Tomcat and JDBC
Database programming, the basics of secure database programming (C++ or Java, choose one)
Programming techniques or concepts. (Need to discuss what technique or concept, basic to advanced, is needed, perhaps a vote on the list?)
Introduction to new languages or such. (Intro to Java, C, C++, Forth, XML, XSLT, and a few others)
Basic techniques in secure software engineering.

Any of the above could easily expand into a panel discussion if 2 or 
more other panelists wish to participate.

My usual presentation style is pretty informal and participative, but I 
can do formal-with-slides presentations if desired as well.

We need to get some topics and presenters on the calendar.  This comes up 
every month and I want to change that!

It is difficult to constantly come up dry or always here from me, Hans or Rob 
(when he is in town).  Not to say Hans and Rob don't do a good job it's just 
that we want to hear from more people and more stuff.

This is the old list of topics that I compiled more than a year ago.  I 
removed some of the items because we have actually covered them since the 
list was made.

- - X11 programming
- - Secure programming
- - A hackfest where everyone that can brings notebooks and programming 
challenges or contributions are made to project(s)
- - Panel discussion on something (ie. a topic with a panel rather than a single
presenter.)
- - QT
- - Ruby
- - Python
- - Embedded Linux (nuts and bolts of booting, building, init, etc.)
- - Driver development
- - Specific driver development. For example, how to write a network, block
device, etc driver.
- - Porting Linux to new CPUs
- - Cool embedded projects
- - Kernel Hacking including kernel debugging.
- - Programming techniques or concepts.
- - Introduction to new languages or such.
- - Database programming etc...
- - OpenGL Graphics Programming
- - J2EE Web Application Development with Tomcat and MySQL
- - Building a C++ app Overview - Emacs/GCC/Make/GDB/  (This one is Rob's for 
the next time he is in town.)
- - Glade (or any scheme language)
- - Gtkmm
- - Anjuta
- - Ruby binding to Glade
- - Cocoon

What I want to do is put topics on the calendar and then go find a 
person/persons to present them.  So, here is the deal.  We'll go backwards 
for a first crack at it.  The dates of the presentations for the rest of this 
year are listed below.  Volunteer to present one of the topics above, or one 
of your own by replying with the date on which you wish to present.

3 February
3 March
7 April
5 May
2 June
7 July
4 August
1 September
6 October
3 November
1 December

Sign up for your day!  First come, first pick on topics and dates!  Reply on 
or off list to me.

Alan
