http://plug.phoenix.az.us/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=3&categories=PLUG+Meetings&parent_id=0#25

Topics (in no particular order): Blender Part 2.  Intro to OpenOffice.org 
Impress.  Intro to PGP, GPG and Keys

This meeting will be a continuation of our "mini-presentations" with three 
interesting topics.

Brian will continue with his demonstrations with Blender 
(http://www.blender3d.com), a 3D graphics creation and animation tool.  
Last month he showed us the basics of the user interface.  This month he 
will build on that introduction.

Joseph Sinclair, our Devel EEP Lead, will discuss the basics of Pretty 
Good Privacy (PGP) encryption.  Things like public keys and private keys 
and why we should use them more.  We wish to educate ourselves the point 
where we can have a full key signing party and build up a web of trust in 
the group.  Joseph will start us down the path to encryption 
enlightenment.

I, Alan, will do a live creation of a presentation using OpenOffice.org 
Impress.  It'll be basic but, if you have been scared to use it, I'll 
show you that you can defeat your fear!  Assuming there is time, we may 
go beyond the basics with a few nice slide element animations.  We can 
explore features together.

Alan
