I know I'm way over here in NY, but I have another suggestion if there
are any Haskellers in WLUG.

There's a lot to learn from Haskell, especially as the world moves
toward massively parallel computing. ghci and http://tryhaskell.org/
would make for a fun & interactive presentation of a very
well-designed programming language.

As an example I wrapped a v4l2 frame grabber and was able to get framerates 2-4 TIMES faster then OpenCV's frame grabber. Getting started with JNI is full of "gotchas" that keeps most developers away, which I think is a shame.
