Some meetings are well attened, some are not.  The last meeting had
six attendees, which I consider a fair turnout.  The meeting before
that had three.  So depending on various circumstances we are doing
OK to being a tad thin.  I think the meetings are withering because
we are having a hard time coming up with a good, stable meeting
location, good topics for discussion, and a good mix of attendees to
learn from.

I'm all ears for ideas on how to fix any of these issues, but until
then I'm going to keep driving things along, hoping that something
works out.  We've been talking about various ways to fix some of the
issues at the meetings.

Some of the given ideas include a social night once a month; seminars
at the monthly meetings; holding the meetings at different times,
locations, or with a different frequency; more active recruitment;
specialty discussion groups.  If any of this sounds good to the
membership please speak up because I'd be happy to arrange it.

I'm more than happy to hear about ideas, opinoins, good and bad
experiences at the meetings, or anything else that affects the
group.  In fact, if we get any ideas that stimulate the group
enough or to get meeting attendance above 20 people, I'll buy pizza
for the following meeting.
