Some ideas for a meeting agenda are:

	* Pre-meeting:
		* Facilitate main presentation (if possible, set up the equipment beforehand - try to remember to bring extension cords, cell phone, extra cables, ...)
	* Welcome & Introductions
		* Announce and thank the host
		* Attendees introduce themselves (Who they are, where they work or go to school, what they are doing with Linux)
	* Administrivia & Facilities News
		* Announce future meetings
		* Pointers to restrooms and refreshments
		* When do we have to leave
	* Explain meeting format and agenda
	* Questions ( *not* answers )
		* Questions should be recorded in a publicly visible place, so everyone (including latecomers) can see them.
	* Presentation
		* Introduce presenter
		* Facilitate presentation
		* Presentation Q&A
		* Make sure to thank the presenter!
	* Answers
		* By waiting to answer the questions, you should get higher quality answers, since people have had more time to consider the questions.
	* Awards - Awards of recognition to our membership and their contributions to the Linux "cause".
	* DoorPrizes - give them out fairly.
	* Help presenter with packing their equipment (if appropriate)
	* Interpersonal networking at the meeting site
	* Put back the room and facilities the way you found them
	* (optional) Post-meeting refreshments at a local restaurant/watering hole
