[CALUG] CALUG Meeting Ideas

[Brandon Checketts]

Anybody interested in a meeting that takes an in-depth look at some aspect of
Linux internals.   Any particular topic may not warrant a full 2 hours on it's
own, but maybe have two or three people each talk for 30-45 minutes on one?

Sample ideas:
  - File systems: In-depth look at ext3 + info about others (ReiserFS, GFS, etc)
  - Startup process in-depth (boot loader -> kernel load -> init scripts)
  - Memory management (interpreting 'free', 'vmstat', VSZ, RSS etc)
  - Process management (interpeting load average, Signaling, nice, etc)
  - Networking (netstat, iptables, etc)


I don't know if we have any experts on any of these topics, but most of us, as
users, have probably researched into one or more of these areas a little bit on
our own.  Giving a presentation on one would allow you to perhaps dig in a
little deeper on a topic than you may otherwise get to.



Thanks,
Brandon Checketts
