[ccoss] Proposed official meeting announcement

Please read this official December meeting announcement body over to see 
how you like the content and if you find any mistakes. It takes me a 
long time (an hour and half) to write these because I read and edit it 
many, many, many times.

The Central Connecticut Open Systems Society (CCOSS) is planning to have 
its next meeting at the Welles-Turner Memorial Library, 2407 Main 
Street, Glastonbury on Monday, December 8, 2003, 7 PM - 9 PM, the 
library closing time, or if we finish beforehand.

This meeting will be a show and tell night where you can give a short 
presentation or talk, e.g., 5 - 15 minutes, about any Linux/open-source 
topic, e.g., relevant news, technical how-to's, a favorite relevant Web 
site, etc. We encourage everyone to talk or at least give the group a 
goal that you have regarding Linux/open-source software, so we'll make 
sure we give everyone time to talk. Bill Rivet and I are planning on 
giving prepared presentations. Available equipment will be a computer 
overhead projector and my computer (or your own computer) connected to 
the overhead projector by the video port, an Internet connection 
(probably by Ethernet), a transparency overhead projector (with your own 
transparencies), and a white board on a stand large enough to be visible 
to the audience with markers and something to erase with. (I'm going to 
get training on Dec. 2 about how to set up the Internet connection.)

Also after meeting, I'd like to discuss the frequency of future 
meetings, e.g., every quarter year. The Welles-Turner Memorial Library 
Friend's Room is available four times per calendar year (January to 
December). In the past couple months, we've used half our reservations 
for 2003.
