Another possible alternative.
Installation clinics at Stan's.
Another weekly or every other week meeting else where
with just the "eug-luger's" present with a more focused atmosphere like a
few months ago when many people were switching
over to Debian. During these meetings only people interested in
loading/installing whatever the topic is would bring boxes.
If there is enough interest in a particular topic those who installed at the
previous meeting could help be with the installation
of that piece of software or hardware. These meeting being limited to those
who had signed some sort of liability waiver, and were known to the members
of the group.
We could still have monthly or less often in depth meetings like we
havew been doing.
