[ILUG] BOFs [was Saturday's dublin meeting]

[Kenn Humborg]

Well, Saturday's meeting did turn out pretty well after all.
Pity about the low turnout, though.

I was very happy with the way my talk turned out.  It was
much more 'interactive' than I expected, which was good.
In fact, it was closer to a BOF (birds-of-a-feather) than
a presentation.  I know I learned a few things...

Anyway, after that experience, I'd like to encourage more
BOF-like sessions at future meetings.  We just need two
things for a BOF:

1. A topic with a short list of starting points for discussion
2. Someone who knows a little bit about the topic to
   'chair' it.  (I hate that word 'chair'.  Sounds way
   too formal.)

Some of these sessions could be targetted at experts and some
for beginner/intermediate, of course.

Anyone have any comments, suggestions, or topics they'd like
to talk about?

Later,
Kenn
