The suggestion for a meet devoted to scientific apps is a good one.
However, please do keep the following three points in mind:
1. Only people who've had extensive experience with a piece of
software should be speaking on it. There's just no point in giving a
top-level overview of the software and not being able to answer
questions that the audience throws up. So, for instance, Sudev on CAD
and our ``resident TeX experts'' on TeX/LaTeX would be cool, since
both parties have had oodles of experience with the softwares under
discussion. Additional similar speakers would be welcome.
2. Ensure that the target audience is informed well in advance and
available. Not much point discussing scientific text processing when
the only audience is from industry, e.g.
3. Have a formal presentation (in whatever format) sent to the Meet
coordinators at least one week before the Meet. ILUGD meetings are
flexible enough to accommodate dynamic audience interests, but we tend
to wander too much when there's no fixed structure for a presentation.
