| The March meeting topic - you! Yep, this meeting will be all about you, in a low-preparation way.

| |
|
| |
| b) programming languages
| |
|
| |
| c) software investments

|
| |
| d) job choice
| |
|
| |
| e) where to invest your computer/tech-related volunteer time
| |
|
| |
| f) anything else computer/tech related that you feel up to passing judgment on (if you have topics to suggest people brainstorm on, please send those to the list)
| |
|
| |

| |
|
| |
| So please attend, and be prepared to offer some opinions. No Powerpoint required.

| |

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2017. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
