=== Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
MediaWiki help [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Text_color 1] [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help 2]
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G 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
