This is going to be a synthesis of MeetingIdeas and MeetingSpeakers. To be combined into at least a 3-column table. Add past meetings?
The following table lists some speakers and what they are willing to talk about.
And check individual TWiki pages (for example: BruceDawson) to see find topics that person is willing to talk about. And see MeetingIdeas for topics that people have requested. And see the VolunteerList for general volunteers. And don't begin a sentence with the word "and".
