[kwlug-disc] Plugin/show-and-tell presentations

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Just in case this prompts other peoples possible ideas, I am still 
keeping a few future presentation in mind:

* how I setup neovim, for note taking and Ruby development
* fish shell
   - this might dovetail with the neovim stuff, because I have been using
     neovim as my terminal for the last few years, too
* Gnome extensions, specifically trying out tiling extensions
   - I want to figure out if there is anything more useful than just
     maximizing all my windows which is what I do now

Something else to consider: showing something that you tried to use, but 
did not work can also be really helpful. And possibly entertaining. :)
