You are talking of making the entire meeting based on a theme. Not bad, but it might be difficult to find a theme everyone is interested in. MONO might be a hot topic for discussion for developers, but a general user might feel a full fledged theme based meeting a bit too technical, not to mention boring. This will also take away the general open nature of the meetings. It would require substantial effort to organise things. These are my views though. Personally,I don't mind sitting through any number of hours for a technical meet, provided it is practical. -Devendra. -- http://dengineer.blogspot.com -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
