====== SLUUG Steering Committee - Planning Schedule ======

Information about the planned and known state of SLUUG meeting
topics and locations should be made available here.

NOTE: Items posted on the wiki are always unofficial.

Schedules for upcoming tutorials and presentations are always
tentative.  (Some more tentative than others!)

These lists were used during Steering Committee meetings, when
planning presentations.  A version of these lists was posted to
our DISCUSS mailing list on 25 May 2009, asking for volunteers.

====== Potential Tutorials, Topics and Speakers ======

===== Potential BASE Tutorial Ideas =====

A short period (30 to 45 minutes) prior to each main presentation
at the SLUUG general meetings is dedicated to basic subjects.
These tutorial sessions often are more hands on and less formal
in nature.  They are mostly targeted at newbies, although everyone
attending usually learns something.  Sometimes the focus can be on
a single unique command, application feature, concept or technique.
Live demonstrations of new hardware or specific application software
are welcomed.

In general, the tutorial subject should differ from the theme of the
main presentation topic.  We can repeat these tutorials every few
years, as not too much changes with the basics.  Different presenters
often provide different information and fresh perspectives.

As of 2020-02-09 all listed potential tutorial ideas were moved to
the Planning Schedule database.

===== Potential MAIN Topic Ideas =====

These are some topics that we've had requested, or brainstormed,
but for which we need to find speakers.  They would likely require
more time than the basic tutorial sessions.

As of 2020-02-09 all listed potential tutorial ideas were moved to
the Planning Schedule database.

===== Potential Speakers =====

As of 2020-05-28 all listed potential speakers and their topics
were moved to the Planning Schedule database.

====== Planning Schedule Database ======

Trying to integrate the dynamically changing wiki list of potential
tutorials, topics and speakers into the monthly STEERCOM agenda and
minutes proved cumbersome. Moving the information into a LibreOffice
BASE database allowed faster generation of a schedule that can
track everything better.  Sharing a **Planning Schedule Report**
during STEERCOM meetings is easier and faster than trying to update
the minutes to show overwhelming data.

====== Planning Schedule Report ======

===== Built from LibreOffice (LO) planning.odb =====

The complete database includes many past and future meeting dates and
can be used to plan meetings, topics and other events.  Note that
Status descriptions have not been finalized (a work in progress).
Currently maintained and uploaded by Stan R., with the latest copy
in his home directory on BOCK.

=====  Sorted by When (Date), Type, Status, What =====
