[chiglug] December meeting & other notes

[eviljoel]

Hello Jim and All,

The 12th works best for me. I might be able to make the 5th too but it
will probably be tight.

Concerning talks, I know I don't speak for everyone, but talks should be
written for a general Linux audience, not just system administrators. We
have lots of Linux users who use Linux for a variety of different
purposes. Anyone who uses Linux regularly should be able to at least
somewhat follow along.

Also, giving a 5 minute intro to your topic can help beginners get
_something_ out of your talk. You know, just enough information so that
beginners have some context for what problem your application is trying
to solve.

Thanks,
eviljoel
