Awesome! Depending on what kind of presentations we want I think we might be able to find some inside the university system. Most of the people (myself included) I know here locally would be most interested in the learning from others aspect of this but I am happy to put it out there once it has gotten a little farther along in the process. The Atlanta area has several user groups that we might be able to pull talent from. Google also has a decent size presence around here so we could try to see if someone from there wanted to talk if that sounds interesting. -- *Gene Liverman* Systems Administrator Information Technology Services University of West Georgia gliverma at westga.edu 678.839.5492 ITS: Making Technology Work for You!
