[mdlug] Meeting topics for general public Instruction and training

[gib at juno.com]

I like some of the ideas you listed. I'm not sure what you mean when you say: "if a video conference works". Typically we have a live presenter which is broadcast on a Google Plus hang-out.Programmer type topics have been something I've wanted to see. We have some members who may fall asleep.

Guys, I moved to silicon valley from Detroit, and have continued my use of Linux in all facets of my work.  I have presented numerous times to various conferences, including developer week and html5devconf.  I have a best selling book, "Single Page Web Applications" which reflects my current focus.

If you are open to a video conference, I have numerous presentations "in the can" about cutting edge web application development while using Linux.  I also publish a reference guide of the tools I use https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ak6s-8up66hRdEw5RkxVcDhwM0xiU0dUaDZBU1ptdkE&usp=docslist_api

So, if a video conference works, I'm game.  All of these are completed and previously presented to large, tech savvy audiences: single page web application intro and techniques; the fog of single page applications (best practices); headless testing of single page applications; replace sass, less, bootstrap, and other hacks with JavaScript programmatic styling (wip).

I might be convinced to present on why using desktop Linux as a web developer workstation makes a lot more sense than wasting time on windows and osx; or why dumping ruby for node makes a lot of sense. But that are not yet written.

Cheers, Mike
