TechTalks

At Bring-a-Box LUG meetings we offer talks and presentations on Linux-related subjects that may interest members. Slides and other resources (sometimes including video/audio recordings of the talk) will be put here. For help with these videos, please read the /FrequentlyAskedQuestions. If you have a suggestion for a talk you would like to see or would like to offer a talk for a meeting, please add it to the MeetingSuggestions/Talks page.

There is a [template] for OpenOffice 2 with a pale HantsLUG logo background if you wish to use it when preparing a talk for a HantsLUG meeting. If you are preparing a talk, you might want to read the /TipsForTalks page.
