Agenda:
0. Server Status
    Bunch of boring stuff about shell server.

1. General Biz
    None

2. Penguicon ($40 Tickets)
    Open source hardware/software and sci-fi convention downstate. (see http://www.penguicon.org )
    LUG can pay some for the tickets to help with costs.
    About 9 people here are interested.

3. Open Floor
    Ubuntu replacing GDM with something that doesn't suck?

4. Compiz-Desktop (presentation by Dan Williams)
    Freewins plugin is neat, lets you rotate windows
    GNOME v3 is shown, quite heavy, completely redesigned.
    Compiz is being run stand-alone without GNOME. Runs smooth, has dock, spiffy effets.
    /usr/local/bin/start-fusion.sh shown, script to start default programs.
    *Time to show off Enlightenment 17* (supposed release in December)
    Taskbar is on fire. Lightweight - able to run on 800MHz, 256MiB RAM machine without lag.
    Fire is eating CPU though. CPU use down when disabled. Rendering is done in software :(

5. Q/A

6. Shell Server
