[Discuss] Another Possible Presentation

[John Blomfield]

I have been wrestling with some thoughts about presentations that I 
could contribute, so far I have two possibilities:

1.   The first is probably too specialized but you never know? I spend 
most of my time on Linux writing C++ GUI applications. I have one big 
project to clone Quicken. This has gone on for years, is not even close 
to complete and is currently in re-write, upgrading to Qt4.  Then there 
are a few minor applications which are complete (more or less, always 
room for improvement).  However, my presentation would focus on:

"How to get started writing C and C++ GUI applications - tools to use 
and a simple example"

2.   I am probably not unique in that I have more than one computer in 
the house.  I have two desktops and one laptop and I have them hooked up 
by Ethernet  Cat5, and wirelessly for the laptop via a router to access 
the Internet.  I have for sometime now experimented with various ways to 
share files and backups between the three computers and maybe my 
experience (story) would be of interest.  I current use NFS, sftp and 
rsync to perform various functions but I cannot claim to be an expert.  
I think this presentation would provide a good basis for the audience to 
participate with their tips and problems.

"How to share files on a Home Network"

I will try to come up with more topics.  I had thought setting up a 
wireless network would be good but most of the issues here are with all 
the the different wireless cards about, some of which are easier than 
others and I only have experience with Intel 2915.

Another thought is that I have thought I would like to post some of my 
code on the web for others to use but I have not researched how best to 
do that.  Perhaps someone could give a presentation of how to set up a 
simple personal website or how to share Linux experience and code 
through existing public sites?
