Erm while I admit that it works well for London.pm, the group is much
bigger so there's always a decent quorum present when using regular day
each month.
I kind of like the rotating days thing to allow for people who have
regular commitments on a particular day of the week. Maybe a set week of
each month and timetable it to rotate from Monday to Friday or something or
even get people to vote for days they *can* attend on and make sure we pick
a rotation that fits the whole bunch of geeks ;-p
