[Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting Wed. Nov. 20, 7 PM

[Wesley Allen]

I know, I know, I never come to the meetings; but I'll put in a couple
of sugguestions....

How about a demo of one of the open-source pvr projects?  If anyone has
worked with one, that is...

***OR***

I wonder if a "patch-night" would be fun.  Take a vanilla kernel, have
everyone bring in their favorite patches; and people can build a custom
super-kernel.....

Need acpi?  no problem.
Need supermount? no problem (I'm a mandrake loser, sue me)
Win4lin?  Sure!
Tpconfig?  Got it right here!
AMD Chip?  we're compiling now
Was that for PPC?  Right this way....

And so on.  The more I read kernel lists and such, the more I realize
that I don't know half of the great kernel-patches out there; this might
be a fun way to learn...

Just an idea....
