Ahh, what I meant, and this is the small bit of programming part I see and
could do, is that we can setup a simple newsletter system so whichever
presentor has guaranteed they will be there can send out the reminder email
through the system, so it comes from presentor at joomlanyc.org or something.

Well.. maybe I am projecting...  since when the group was first formed I
tended to use the first 15-20 minutes as people trickled in for an informal
demo of basic joomla features - but I always felt running those kind of
diminished my qualifications in others eyes as opposed to the more
fun/advanced presentations others would get to do.   Course I could have
completely misread things, my people skills are not the bestest. :-)
