[nmglug] a couple of agenda items for this evening

[Mark Galassi]

I have not yet seen an agenda proposal for tonight, but I was going to
suggest a few possible agenda items:

[note: someone should tell me soon if "proposing an agenda" is
waaaayyyy too formal for this list!!]

1. The already-ad-nauseam-discussed GnuPG -- if y'all can get jabber
   IM accounts on jabber.org we can experiment with GnuPG encryption
   on that too.  I can also talk a bit about various ssh tunneling
   scenarios.  I'll have my laptop (y'all should too) ready to hook up
   wireless so that we can experiment with mail/IM/ssh.

2. I plan to bring some h/w odds-and-ends for the breakbox computer --
   I would *love* to see it running when I go to the SF Baking Company
   for my weekend brunches :-)

3. We could get down to the details on what debian package list to
   include in the breadbox, and discuss kiosk distribution issues in
   general.  I am not especially knowledgeable about this -- all I
   have done is to play with the various live-CD distros, but they
   "feel" slow, which is a problem.  We should also continue the
   discussion that Jason started on how to "return to a clean slate".
 
4. I'd like it if we could be a focus for anyone in Santa Fe (who does
   not have LANL resources behind them) who wants to learn to develop
   s/w and start working on free s/w.  We should all try to bring
   people along who want to start doing s/w development, no matter how
   inexperienced they are.  Gamers might be especially interesting
   from this point of view: it's a way of getting a highly motivatable
   group of people to become "technical" in the right direction.

5. World domination -- no GLUG meeting can be complete without a
   discussion of where we go next to move towards making it easy for
   everyone to be a Saint in the church of Emacs.
