Talks people are willing to give

Note: most of these members do attend meetings regularly, and many don't even live in Blacksburg. Some (Mr. Black), are willing to give remote talks through jitsi meet or google chat.

for VTCSEC

Old talks

These are things from the old VTLUUG:Roadmap page, and may get added if there is sufficient interest. Most of these were added a couple years ago, so their status is unknown

Other meeting ideas

  • Karaoke night

Round tables

  • (CS, ECE software side - Hacking open source projects for grades)
  • ECE hardware side - Free Software for digital and analog circuits

    • Free Software schematic capture, simulation, routing and layout software for the Open Electronics Lab - Fedora electronics remix
  • CoE - Chat with Dean Scales, faculty technology committee about the computer requirement
