I'd be more the happy to give a talk on the state of games on linux .. 
currently .. I don't have a 3d card in my machines .. so getting them running I have very little information on .. I can however cover what 3d cards are supported .. how they are supported .. and what companies are involved ..

I think the week before would be better ... 

most of us will probebly be busy with y2k final preps on the 29th .. 

I also want to appoligise to Jason and everybody else for not being involved with the php talk as I said I would .. 
we have been doing server migration to new server room and hosting servers the last 2 weeks .. and needless to say .. I've been flooded with work .. and overtime claims ;P 

keep me updated .. and I'll start doing something for this months talk.

as a side note ( question ) what media can I use at the talk ( overhead projector / computer linked to screen / etctec )
