help needed for OCLUG meeting Thursday Sep 3

Hi,
Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend this months OCLUG meeting in room
T117 at Algonquin College.

1) We need a master of ceremonies for the meeting to:
   - Welcome people to the meeting.
   - Ask an icebreaker question.
     Eg: Do you use a special purpose or general purpose Linux distro.
   - Announce the back to school with Linux event.
     (See the OCLUG web page for details.)
   - Ask if there are any other announcements that might be of interest
     to the group.
   - Announce that October OCLUG meeting is a panel discussion on
     Virtualization.  Ask potential volunteers to identify themselves.
   - Announce the speakers for the 2 talks.
      SED stream editor - part 2 - Steve Lusk - approx 45 minutes
      Music Production Distros - Mike Keller - 45 - 60 minutes
   - Inform people about the beer sig at Chances R.
     I can make the usual reservation.

2) Mike Keller will be using OpenOffice Impress with his presentation
   but doesn't have a portable computer.  I was going to loan him mine but...
   Can someone provide him with a computer and assistance to display
   his notes?
   He'll be bringing his notes on a USB memory stick.
   The other speaker, Steve Lusk isn't running OpenOffice on his machine.

3) The OCLUG meeting on Thursday Oct 1 is planned to be a panel
   discussion on Virtualization.
   Can the people who are somewhat knowledgeable on the topic meet
   shortly before the beer sig to determine who would be on the panel
   and co-ordinate what they have knowledge of?
   We need:
      - An intro on what virtualization is and why it's used.
      	(I could give this if people want me to.)
      - Three to five panel members who know about one or more of
        these virtualization methods:
	VMware, Xen, KVM, Virtual Box, (and others?)


Any volunteers?

thanks
roland
