Likely none, if they are rational. Though you never know. Some people come once and are never heard from again. Some attend sporadically, either because only a few meetings interest them, or they have other obligations on meeting nights, or they can never remember which is the third Thursday of the month. I do not advocate that we try to be all things to all people, or that we try to be anything other than what we are: an eclectic group of people sharing a common interest in Linux and FOSS. There are many people out there meeting that description that will not be inclined to attend a meeting for their own reasons. That's fine. I just want them to know that a meeting is occurring. > But perhaps the risk disappointed newcomers is easier to bear > than the delay and turmoil of a businesslike approach in this > non-business environment. > > I will suggest a business-minded approach in a separate post, in > case anyone wishes to slow down. We can't slow down, because we're not doing anything yet.
