Also, during the month of August, Ubuntu is hosting the Bug Jam which aligns on the same weekend as the meeting.  This would be a great time for us to raise bug awareness on our machines, submit them, document them, triage, etc. Further, for August, we are on Xmission's calendar to do a community presentation on Ubuntu.  It's at the Main SLC Library downtown.  Details will follow, but the topic is basic Ubuntu, or learning the Ubuntu desktop, installing software, moving around the menus, etc.  There are 2 meetings scheduled, and I'll have details probably sometime next week. For September and beyond, I'm looking for volunteers to do presentations.  I have some ideas rolling around, and if anyone has experience in these topics, please let me know: * Basic Perl programming.  As Perl is the glue that keeps the system administration tools happy, this might be a good evening. * Netfilter with iptables and ufw.  Ubuntu has made ufw the default firewall front-end for iptables, and it's supposed to be "uncomplicated". * KVM with qemu or virt-manager.  Ubuntu has made KVM the default virtualization technology, and it's definitely the current trend. * Edubuntu.  I would *love* to see a presentation on this.  Every Utah school district should be using it in one form or another. * AppArmor.  Ubuntu also made this the default MAC software, so learning how to administer it would be great. I'm up for more ideas on future meetings, but I think this is a good start.  Let me know what you guys think.
