Although I like the idea of getting together for a geeky chin-wag over a few beers, I think that we can put together a few talks.
Occasionally people will turn up who are worth listening to and right now we could easily do a couple a talks right now. I arranged for Derek to do a talk on what he was up to. And Andrew and I could do a presentation on what went down at LCA (linux.conf.au). There were some very cool things that happened there.
