Recent Topic Requests
1.) RADIUS Authentication, configuration and operation.

there from Davenport, to Sync4j, and myriad others use a 'Java

What does "installing" an application in the context of one of these
actually mean or do?  How does one manage or debug one of these
monsters.
4.) Encrypted mail.  There is GPG/PGP and S/MIME.  How does one use
these technologies on a day-to-day basis.  What mail clients (or
servers?) support what?
5.) Wireless.  How to setup a wireless network *correctly*?  How to
really secure it and how to make sure it is working optimally.

Presentation Guidelines
------------------------
1. Presentations should be 30~90 minutes in length.  Length of 120
minutes for advanced topics is allowed,  but please notify the program
director of your intention to run long.
2. There is typically time after the presentation proper for one on one
conversations with members of the audience.  The meetings close around
9:15 - 9:30pm.
3. KLUG can provide an XGA projector that works with most computers.
The projectors native resolution is 1024x768x16bit,  but it will work,
with some negligable loss of quality at other resolutions and color
depths.  We have had very good luck with compatibility but we cannot
GUARANTEE compatibility.
4. Please consider that the meeting room is quite large,  if your going
to display text/examples, please plan ahead to use a LARGE and CRISP
font.
5. It is appreciated when presenters can provide their presentations (in
some open format), notes, or other content for inclusion on the KLUG
past presentations page.
7. Internet access is available, both RJ-45 and wireless, at the
facility. But KLUG cannot guarantee it's functionality at any given
time.  Presenters are advised to avoid reliance on external resources
when possible.  For wireless access you must have a browser with pop-ups
and Javascript ****ENABLED***.
