No they havn't!
There are about 250 people subscribed, very approx 12 have replied wanting to
meet Microsoft on our turf, therefore roughly 95% of the list membership
really could not give a tinkers one way or another.

is going to actually turn up.
"spurious" proof of commitment.
I am not going to expect Microsoft, or any other entity which might want to
expound on their pet subject for that matter, to come and address an audience
of only a dozen or so.
That is your expectation, not necessarily theirs. They don't need
cheerleaders either - strange conception of responsibility to gnu/linux
- drumming up numbers for this particular bandwagon.
So if you want to come to a Microsoft pep talk please make a firm booking on
your part by replying to this thread _WITH AN EMPTY POSTING_.
Thanks to everyone helping confirm further interesting meeting content,
none the less.
Count my vote as yes-but-abstaining :-)
