Thanks for the feedback. (I hope everyone had their chance to respond.)
Seems like 13 (Basic LaTeX) and 2 (Linux wireless routers) are the most
interesting. From Ryan's response, it seems like we've been trying to
do a LaTeX tutorial for some time, so I'll prepare a LaTeX tutorial first.
It'll take me a few days to prepare, but I should have something ready
by Wednesday. (So, Ryan, feel free to setup a meeting for any day from
Wednesday on; any time after 5pm should be fine with me.)
In case anyone wants to contribute a complementary tutorial,
* I will cover
o pronunciation of LaTeX
o what software you need
o some reasons to use LaTeX
o starting a LaTeX document (basic document; nothing special)
o LaTeX to DVI, PostScript, or PDF
o topmatter: title, author, date
o things that go into the document:
+ abstract, sections, subsections, subsubsections,
paragraph, subparagraph
+ table of contents
+ mathematical formulas
+ tables
+ lists
+ footnotes
+ labels and references
+ graphics, figures, subfigures, and captions
o bibliography
o some useful packages
o some useful options for the article document class
o references/resources
+ LaTeX cheat sheet
+ the tutorial I used to learn LaTeX basics
o examples
* I will not cover
o anything other than the article document class
o defining your own commands
o LaTeX styles
