=== Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2014. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics.

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
