KLUG has reserved dates in 2004 for three different series of topics,
based upon your requests, suggestions, and input.  Now that 2003 is
drawing to a close it is time to start really thinking about filling
these series with speakers.  If you would like to reserve one of these
dates or have a suggestion on a speaker to invite please don't hesitate
to make suggestions - programdirector@kalamazoolinux.org

--------------------------------------------------

DEEP TECH - (3/9, 4/13, 5/11) - This series will cover the nuts-n-bolts
of how-it-really-works. Suggested topics: sorting algorithms, database
optimizers and join techniques, hardware detection, etc...

TCO - (4/27, 5/25) - This series will not be focused so much on
technology, but the "Why Open Source?" question. Is Linux really a
better choice for businesses than that alternative OS? If so, Why? We
intend to promote this series to the local business community.
* The 3/30 date of this series has already been reserved by "The Linux
Box" - http://www.linuxbox.nu/index.php

MY DESK - (6/29, 7/27, 8/31, 9/27) - This series will focus on Open
Source desktop applications such as GIMP, Open Office, Evolution, etc...
We'd really like to see specific topics explored in some depth to help
people migrating to a Linux desktop be even more productive than on
their Windows desktop. Suggested topics: Cleaning up images with GIMP,
Macros or Large Documents in Open office, Managing your schedule in
Evolution, Instant Messaging applications, etc..
