A while back Chris asked for presentation ideas for future meetings. I realize this is a bit belated, but it is the first opportunity that work and the holidays have allowed me... Anyway, here are mine. 1) Sound processing - what software to use, formats, etc. This is something near and dear to my heart because as a fiddle player, I learn as much or more by ear as from written music. This is a topic I might be willing to present (gasp), but it would take a few months to put it together. I would like to have an opportunity to fully explore Ardour before doing this (Ardour is at http://ardour.sourceforge.net, for anyone who's curious). Also, I need to be able to do a major upgrade on my Toshiba in order to do this presentation, which makes it somewhat dependent on my second suggestion: 2) A how-to presentation on installing Linux from the hard drive, from someone who has done it and knows what the pitfalls are. I have yet to do this successfully am not sure what I'm doing incorrectly. I have two laptops where I could really use this - a Toshiba with no floppy drive and a somewhat flaky CD drive, and a Sony Vaio in which everything is peripheral through either PCMCIA or USB connections, and which persistently ignores the BIOS setting to boot from CD or floppy.
