<h3>What are SUCS Talks?</h3>
<p>SUCS Talks are a collection of lightning-fast
talks (roughly 10 minutes apiece) given by SUCS members for SUCS members.
Anyone is welcome to do a talk! People have spoken about topics as
wide-ranging as Lego Mindstorms NXT, Music & DRM, and Power Management in
Linux. The talks are a great way to meet people, learn things, and share your
knowledge.</p>
<h3>When are the next
