[LUGSB] Meeting this Friday - call for topics

[JT]

I am not a Linux/Unix guru nor a masters student like some people in
LUGSB, so I really do not have extensive enough knowledge to give a
real talk on anything significant, although I could probably briefly
go over some things that I do know.

But taking that into consideration, I would be willing to cram as much
knowledge into my head about something I don't know, and give a talk
about what I have learned.  One thing that I have wanted to know more
about for a while now (among many) is NTP, brought more into light now
due to DST changes.  I am sure that I could have 5 - 10 minutes worth
to talk about on friday, providing I am given leniency in my talk when
I say something completely incorrect and mislead people.  Kind of not
the best week for me to do this, but I'll be there with something to
say about NTP and UNIX time in general.

I do like this idea though, everyone giving up just a little
something, even if they had to quickly learn it just to give the talk.
