BOF (Bird Of a Feather) session
Speaker: tbd

We'll split the group into two sections:

  For new users: How to get started with Linux.
  -- Short answers can be dealt with at the meeting or Beer SIG.
  -- For longer answers future talks can be planned.
  -- Hopefully, some of the more experienced users will be in this
        group to help answer, questions, make notes of the topics and
        suggest who can give talks. 

  For experienced users:
  -- What advanced topics do you want to hear about?
  -- The important part: volunteers or suggestions on who can give the talks.
  -- Let's get details on what people want to hear.
