[lug] October BLUG meeting - looking for a speaker (and more)

[David L. Willson]

I have several hours of work (play) left to do before I would be ready, but I could do a short talk on free-libre software alternatives to Minecraft. 

The outline would go something like this: 

Alternatives to MS Minecraft 
=== 

* Why I should never have chosen to trust Notch 
* Why, having initially chosen to trust Notch, I should have stopped trusting Notch 
* Why I don't blame Notch 
* Why Voxelands is awesome 
* Why Minetest is awesome 
* Why Terasology is more exciting than awesome 
* Conclusions 

Would that be interesting?

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.

> - managing your media, and especially pictures (e.g. kphotoalbum,
