One thing I've been wondering about lately is if the focus on "topic of the month" is actually hurting GNHLUG in the long run. The implicit modus operandi seems to be that we have to have a fancy topic in order to have a meeting. Why should Linux fans have to have a pre-arranged topic to meet? I know nobody thinks we actually *have* to, but nonetheless, meetings without a topic tend to have hugely lower attendance. It seems reasonable to suppose that since "no topic" is unusual, that's treated as reason to skip the meeting, since if the meeting was good it would have a topic. I'm told that in some other LUGs, it's the norm to just gather to help each other and network (people networking, not computer networking).
