Talks
This page is dedicated to the talks that we have at HUMBUG. Talks generally are between 30min to an hour long. They often start at 6pm. We do sometimes get special guests coming to HUMBUG where they give a talk. On this page you will find a list of future and previous talks. The aim here is to provide you with extra information, like the slides used, to go with the talks that we have. We also hope in the future to provide video links of talks so that even if you don't attend you can still watch them.

Talks Guide
If you would like to present a talk at HUMBUG please email <admin AT lists DOT humbug DOT org DOT au>. We will need a brief description of what you want to talk about. Talks need to be less than an hour long. If we need to prepare equipment then we will need to know. The Talks Maintainer will assess the application and if it's good will give you a meeting date when you can present it. If it needs further work or is rejected we will contact you with the reasons.
Some suggested talk subjects:
- downloading packages - e.g., synaptic (and update manager)
su (root) discipline
using xterm and basic commands like cd, ls
man, info
use of text editors - e.g., vi, emacs, gedit, etc.
- Desktop managers
- Getting help
- Web browsers and email clients
Archivers: tar, cpio, pax
Compression utilities: zip, bzip2
- Document construction
xorg.conf, Configuring X
- Compiz Fusion
However we will take any subject provided it within the scope of HUMBUG. These include any talks about Open Source, Unix, electronics, or anything else that might interest the HUMBUG members.
The Talks Sand Box
Are you interested in doing a talk? Don't know where to begin or how to get started? Then the SandBox is for you. Within the SandBox is a simple help guide to get you started and an area that you can place everything that you hope to talk about. When you're ready to give a talk, send an email to the exec giving a link to your wiki offshoot.
