Wouldn't you like to be a newbie, too?

What: Newbie sessions are more of a managed discussion than a formal one-to-many presentation. I bring an outline and some general notes to present. At some point, folks start to chip in with questions and additional information, and other folks join in with answers and even more info. The intent is for everyone to walk away knowing more than they did when they walked in.

Who: Anyone is welcome to attend; you don't need to be a newbie. Historically, there's a lot of give and take and oftentimes even experienced members walk away with a couple nuggets of "I didn't know that!"
