[ale] Wanted presentation topics?

[Greg Freemyer]

I'll add Advanced Desktop Usage in general, I think this would be a
series of presentations personally.

KDE 4.6 is out or about to be out.  I run KDE, but I don't do anything
approaching fancy.  I could probably be running KDE 2 and not know the
difference.  I'd like a advanced demo if anyone knows it well.  Not a
tutorial per se, I can figure out how to do things if I know there is
a feature I could use.

And Gnome 3.0 is due out soon.  Same for it.

And then there all all the lightweight desktops.  openSUSE added lxde
officially last summer.  Why? They already had a couple lightweight
desktops.  A presentation about all the lightweight desktops with pros
and cons would be cool.  This might be more of a real how-to for those
of us that spend our time at the command line, but would like to have
a GUI available on our servers.
