Fossian will need to identify why it is boring. After all, all these presentations and everything is for benefit of all. If majority of the people don't want presentation, then it should be hacked and different form/method of conveying knowledge should be used. For example, the meetup could involve as pointed out, video's of Google techtalks, a movie about technology or some miniconfs video. To begin with an excellent video by Dr. Andy Tanenbaum that he gave at linux.conf.au 2007 is available for download @ http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2007/video/wednesday/Wednesday_0900_Tanenbaum.ogg There are many more video available @ http://lca2007.linux.org.au/Programme (and some really crazy ones too). These could be starting point. Just a suggestion. Happy Nepali New Year 2064 to all fossians.
