Apologies for the self-reply, but as a brief report on this evening's
presentation.  Nikolas Coukouma, our newest Amanda developer, and Jon
LaBadie, a seasoned member of the Amanda community, were both present
and added valuable comments and perspectives to the conversation.

I talked about Amanda's strengths, walked through a very basic Amanda
configuration, talked about all the fun new projects in Amanda (Device
API, App API, Xfer Architecture, and Perl Rewrite), and then spent
some time talking generally about open-source communities and
development.

Slides are at
  http://wiki.zmanda.com/images/a/a4/Amanda-calug.pdf
(note that some of these slides were held "in reserve" and were not
presented tonight).

Please have a look.  I'd be happy to continue any of these
conversations online, for those who were there or whose interest is
piqued by the slides.
