SLUG_Jan_Call_for_Speakers

Hi EveryOne -

It seems a bit soon, but considering December SLUG meeting is a
Gathering on Saturday the 13th rather than the usual last Friday-of-the
month,
Here's an overview of SLUG Talks for the benefit of recent SLUG members and
non-members.

This is a Call for Speakers (specifically for January - and beyond if you're
organising into the early months of next year).

Generally, as well as other events,
SLUG typically holds regular meetings on the *last* Friday of each month.

Thanks to  Atlassian <http://www.atlassian.com/>, 185 Sussex Street, Sydney,

General Talk      begins the SLUG Meeting,

InDepth Talk      - runs concurrently with

                        SLUGlets (newbie and/or loose-format get-together)
in an other room at Altassian.
 *                                       General discussion about Linux,
free software and open source. Can be - Q&A*
**
Speakers usually come along on a volunteer basis.

With regards to Speakers and in the spirit of Open Source and sharing,
especially with new-comers and SLUG non-members -
I feel that, respect and general consideration of Speakers would be the norm
from "audience members".

The Speakers are video-taped by permission.

Looking forward to Seasoned and New Speakers in 2009 -
