I completely concurr with Steve. Although I have been reduced to "lurking the list" the past few years, my first few meetings when Dan was prez included "LUSH' - Linux Users Social Hour @ Mossfire Grill. That was a blast! I learned more at these 'informal' meetings (and had more fun) than I did at the 'official' meetings. The conversation(s) were *always* interesting and full of laughter and surprizes.
My 2 cents.
