I've (shame) not been to a LUGSB meet yet. Seems my schedule always gets 
in the way. But I'm thinking about topics I might present if were I to 
actually make the next one and give my 5-10minutes. So what I'd like to 
know is: what's the audience like? I know, I know, there's all varieties 
from noob to pro, but seriously, do we have a show-of-hands sortof 
guesstimation? Arbitrarily, let's divide people into these categories:

  1. Brand new to linux and wondering what apps are useful,
     still using windows some of the time (you poor soul)

  2. Linux as primary OS for a while, looking for "tips and tricks," 	
     knows about man pages and configuration files

  3. Exclusive linux use for years, looking for advanced knowledge,
     knows the "free software song" (you poor soul)

I mean, say I want to talk about vim. (Has this been done?) Should I 
spend 3 minutes on the merits of syntax highlighting and folding, or 
should I jump straight to compiler integration and 'errorformat' syntax?

Or maybe 51% prefers emacs and I should prepare to defend myself? ;)
