What does that say about kindergarten teachers and special ed teachers? :-D

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. :-)
