Excellent idea.  Last month for the first time I went to the wylug meet. =
=20
Their model is talks and Q & A for the first hour or more, then on to the=
 pub=20
for relaxed talks later.  I like that.

Seems to me we have some 'experts' that could do a short talk on some asp=
ects=20
that interest them.  At the same time there are some problems/projects th=
at=20
many of us come up against from time to time, where someone talking about=
 how=20
they solved it would be interesting.  Perhaps we could get a list of area=
s=20
that people would like to see discussed.

I hope this idea can be carried forward.  Pub meeting rooms may be availa=
ble,=20
but they are often out of town, so not so accessible for many people.
