I think you are saying pretty much the same thing. One group with a
technical orientation and one group with a more general audience focus.
Another possibility is to have some smaller seminar-type sessions, or maybe
some mini-installfests. As Linux (and Unix) popularity grows, we should be
able to accommodate both spectrums. Why not continue to have our same focus,
but in addition to our regular monthly, have smaller more narrowly focused
meetings. One main problem with doing more with any group like this is to
get new volunteers to take responsibility for the additional features.
