I like the idea, and I'd definitely attend and participate! I'm not sure how much fun it would be for some of the fuddy-duddies in the group, though. ;-)  Mind you, if the game(s) have an "observer" mode (BZflag is one that has this), we could throw that on the projector and make it more of a show.

Mike's Warzone 2100 demo offer gave me an idea...

Has there ever been a MUUG game night? Perhaps we could vote on 1 or 2 favorite open source games & use one of the meetings (Xmas Party) as a LAN party? We could do the round-table first & then LAN party for any who wanted to stay.

Just an idea.

       If anyone wants, I can talk about a trio of commands. "cd", "pushd",
and "popd". I can also give the standard lecture of how directories are
created/removed/arranged.

       At a later date I can give a short demo of a cross-platform game called
Warzone 2100. I can even demo a GameBoy emulator (I used to run a game
oriented BBS with a friend and I guess it's still an area I pay a little
attention to). An admitted departure from the system admin oriented
presentations, but a break every now and then couldn't hurt. ;-)
