Well, I promise to use common sense when scheduling talks.
However, as we found out when I took a quick poll at the last VanLUG meeting,
we *do* have a lot of people in the group who are new to Linux and have
indicated their interest in introductory talks.
IMHO, the best compromise is to schedule any introductory talks in the 7:00 -
7:30 pm time slot and the regular talks in the 7:30 - 9:00 pm time slots.
People who are not interested in the "introductory" talk can simply plan to
arrive shortly before 7:30 pm.
