Dear Paul, The point of these gatherings is to make it whatever anyone willing to contribute wants it to be. At the moment it's a mini education platform, as that seems to work, (we tried the come a drink beer approach which seemed less successful). My main objective is to raise awareness of Linux and Open Source Software, and have some fun whilst doing it. To give people support who are setting out in the world of Linux and O.S.S. But we are always open to suggestion, so please let us know if there is something we could be doing were not.
Hope that answers the question a little bit.

Would you care to share? Regards.

Now, I do still make the odd use of 'ls -lt | head', but only as a means to a means to an end. One tends to drop packets quite a bit these days, so please bear with me: What, again, is the point of these gatherings?

So please anyone out there who fancies coming and talking about a favorite Open Source Topic? We'll be happy to provide you with logistical support. i.e. set-up etc. Just like some new faces up there for a change, plus I'd love to watch for a change ;-) There is the challenge? Any takers?
