This page is a proof-of-concept page. Please don't edit it, but send your feedback on the layout to the [[MailingList]]
This page is for suggestions for talks on topics that members would like to know more about. We would love to hear talks or presentations, formal or informal, on the subjects below. Topics already covered can be found on the TechTalks page.
- More than one person can offer to give a talk. Sometimes people can't make the schedule or they get really busy, so add your name even if someone else has already stepped forward.
- If you would like to see a talk and the topic isn't listed on this page, please add it.
Try and add it to the appropriate table, using the appropriate syntax, but don't worry about getting it wrong because one of the WikiAdmins will sort it out if you do!
- If you are interested in seeing a talk already listed on this page, please add your name to the "Suggested by" column. This helps to gauge demand for a particular talk.
