[Linux-SIG] Presentation Topics

Here are the presentation topics from the sheets passed around at the 
last meeting. There are presentations people offered to do, and a bunch 
of suggestions / requests for presentations. Of course, we'd love to 
see more volunteers and suggestions. Send stuff to me for now.

I've done a tiny bit of editing where I couldn't understand something 
or thought I could phrase it slightly better, but mostly this is what 
was written. If I've mangled your idea / name / e-mail, please let me 
know. I'll be out of town for the next week and won't have much time 
for e-mail, but I'll respond eventually.

At some point this should probably be put in a database and web-ized, 
but this is what I had time for right now. :-)
