People need a > reason to come out to meetings. I agree. I haven't had much time to be pro-active in either giving talks or hounding people for talks. We need more talks! Or topics, rather. There doesn't always have to be someone at the front with slides - for instance, we can do theme-based workshops where the idea is to share knowledge on a particular topic. Since it's hard to get people to speak on Rose, Moose, etc., maybe we can turn these into more hands-on events. Ideas welcome!
