<div dir="ltr">Hi Lan,<div>We all really appreciate the work you put into the group.</div><div><br></div><div>I will be traveling for the July meeting but will try to find a speaker for August. We have plenty of time.</div><div><br></div><div>EVERYONE: if you know someone who can give a good talk, please nominate them. If you are too shy to contact them directly I can do it. I often find stealing speakers from other nearby venues a good way to find them. Or even going through past SGVLUG meetings from years ago.</div><div><br></div><div>We track speaker candidates at:</div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ArNpQvqFQRgeoCx3TVN6yiF-3Qg2nLvyKEQeqj1UrOY/edit#heading=h.7nslnf1zactv">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ArNpQvqFQRgeoCx3TVN6yiF-3Qg2nLvyKEQeqj1UrOY/edit#heading=h.7nslnf1zactv</a><br></div><div>feel free to add to it.</div><div><br></div><div>For some of the other logistics, like confirming Du Pars reservations (who is our usual contact?), AV equipment, etc, maybe a write-up in Google docs or a gist of what needs to be taken care of will help delegate. Perhaps we can have an assigned "Volunteer of the Month" to handle the logistics.</div><div><br></div><div>-braddock</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 6, 2018 at 1:14 AM, Lan Dang via SGVLUG <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sgvlug@sgvlug.net" target="_blank">sgvlug@sgvlug.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div>Hi all,<br><div><br><div><span><span><span><div><div><div><div><div>1) I'm increasingly tired of the mental
