I have a speaker lined up for Nov, but October is still open. If you're seriously offering, we can do it on Wed the 10th. I just need to reserve the room. Up for it? Jeremy P.S. If anyone else wants to talk about something (such as the router, or media pc projects), that's cool too. Let's have a call for speakers!
