[LUGSB] Meeting this Friday - call for topics

[JST]

Perhaps a good idea is a general introduction for everyone, in person or
on the list.

I'm probably #2... I first used linux in '98, but barely so.  It turned
me off until a few years later, and I've been using it exclusively since
'03.  I have heard of the free software song, but I didn't think it
really existed.  Is it a Stallman production?

Personally though, I would be interested in hearing anything really,
cool applications, tips and tricks, advanced knowledge, and a primer on
vim.  Maybe have someone else do an emacs presentation on the same day.
