I don't know about a debate as such, but it would be handy to have a discussion about the prospects and obstacles on this one. OK, this is a bit selfish, since I find myself doing the advocate thing within my organisation from time to time. Part of what I would be interested in is software-related (e.g. my major concern still is the Access replacement - both Rekall and Kexio are getting there, perhaps) but also to do with institutions and processes. I would like the name GLUG myself, but that possibly says more about me than anything else ;-) The speaker meetings are what would interest me the most. At which point I should acknowledge that I've never actually made it to a meeting ;-) Most recently it's because it clashes with Glasgow meetings of the Green Party ... (Ahem, minor plug: the Greens have a very pro-open source policy; the Green MSP for Glasgow, Patrick Harvie, is a Linux user and has been prodding the Executive to shift away from Microsoft.)
