I agree - I would've hung around a bit longer myself if there was the
opportunity.  As a newbie it would've been nice to have the opportunity to
play around on some Linux machines, chat with more experienced users about
setting up my machines (e.g. Linux doesn't recognise the winmodem on my
laptop - although poking around the web I've now found a couple of small
utilities that should help me around that), and just generally chewing the
fat on matters Linux/FOSS.

Anyway, I enjoyed the meeting and will probably come along to the next one
and maybe drag a couple of others along.

ATB,
