RE: help needed for OCLUG meeting Thursday Sep 3

I certainly can do 1) and 2), having been in OCLUG for many years, and
done presentations of my own. AS for 3), I also have *some* background
in virtualization.

If you think I can do it, please let me know and I should be able to do
it with not too much problem.

Have a nice day :-)

 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
