I've (shame) not been to a LUGSB meet yet. Seems my schedule always gets
in the way. But I'm thinking about topics I might present if were I to
actually make the next one and give my 5-10minutes. So what I'd like to
know is: what's the audience like? I know, I know, there's all varieties
from noob to pro, but seriously, do we have a show-of-hands sortof
guesstimation? Arbitrarily, let's divide people into these categories:
1. Brand new to linux and wondering what apps are useful,
still using windows some of the time (you poor soul)
2. Linux as primary OS for a while, looking for "tips and tricks,"
knows about man pages and configuration files
3. Exclusive linux use for years, looking for advanced knowledge,
knows the "free software song" (you poor soul)
I mean, say I want to talk about vim. (Has this been done?) Should I
spend 3 minutes on the merits of syntax highlighting and folding, or
should I jump straight to compiler integration and 'errorformat' syntax?
Or maybe 51% prefers emacs and I should prepare to defend myself? ;)
