[KLUG Members] A Note To Potential Presenters

[Adam Tauno Williams]

Don't think your qualified to present at KLUG?  We have people ask us to
cover "applications" all the time.  And some very cool ones (or new
versions) were announced very recently so I've listed them below.  By
covering a Linux application you can not only contribute back to KLUG
and its members, but help defeat the "But the're ain't no stinkin' apps"
myth.

Gnome Meeting
----------------------------------------------------
An H323 Video and/or Voice Conferencing application,  similair to
Microsoft NetMeeting, and compatible with NetMeeting and several other
IP Telephony products.

Gstreamer
----------------------------------------------------
While not an "end-user" application (it is billed as a developers tool)
the sample application is probably one of the best media players
available for Linux,  capable of playing just about any file format know
to man.  It can even use Windows DLL files to play files in CODECS not
yet natively supported on Linux.

Mr. Project
-----------------------------------------------------
Mr. Project is nothing other than a project managment application,
complete with resource allocation, task dependencies, and the Gannt
charts.  More features on the way...

GLAME
-----------------------------------------------------
"A capable and easily extensible free sound editor."  Also called "The
GIMP" of sound,  there isn't much this application can't do to an audio
file.

Gramps
------------------------------------------------------
A geneologoy tool on steroids,  you can even include pictures.  Outputs
reports to Abiword, Open Office, and PDF.  Web page generation.  And all
stored in XML of course.  Who said there wasn't a Linux app for
absolutely everything.

GNOME Toaster
-------------------------------------------------------
The ultimate CD creation front end.  On the fly copy, drag-n-drop, mixed
audio and data, create bootable CDs, CD/RW blanking, multi-session,
etc... Just about anything you could image doing to a CD,  and probably
a few you wouldn't have thought of.

Dia
--------------------------------------------------------
A flow chart and diagram application.  Supports UML, ERDs, electronic
schematics, network diagrams, etc....   And if it doesn't have the
shapes you need you can simply add them using a subset of SVG.  There is
even a current version for Win32.

Overflow
---------------------------------------------------------
This one definitely is NOT an end-user app,  but sooo cool I don't even
really understand WHAT it is.  A "data-flow" oriented tool for building
real-time multimedia application,  or that's at least one possible use
according to the web site.  Or you could just use it to whip up a Nueral
Net application or do some signal processing.  Very high geek factor!
