Yes, it was my first time and I really enjoyed meeting everyone.

I thought about what you said about having some slightly more "serious"
stuff at the moot.

Two things occurred to  me, kinda like the things you get in a magazine:-

1.  Short presentations (<30min) by members of their favourite/specialist
knowledge/applications, so that others may have their eyes opened to
things that they did not know about.

2.  Question time (like the problem letter pages) where people can ask
things like "why is my printer so slow when I use CUPS, it was fine with
Windows?" and the massed brains can see if they can come up with an
answer.

All this is a slightly more formal environment so that everyone is focused
on the one thing.
