Synopsis:

As much as I hate to do this, the May meeting is cancelled. I will be out of town a few days preceding the meeting and I won't be able to arrange a speaker.

Two potential topics have been suggested for our next meeting:

- SSD Technologies
- KVM/RedHat Virtualization

I would welcome any help in tracking down speakers on either topic for May. We haven't had much luck finding a speaker for SSD technologies. I'm also looking for other topics of interest, especially if they come with a speaker.

TCSA meetings are on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm, and are free and open to the public.
