I am totally serious about this. The more opportunities that LUV members have to meet experts on subjects related to Linux the better. Lots of LUV members either can't afford to attend LCA or can't spare the time, so when we find experts who are available locally to share their knowledge for free it's a real benefit for LUV members.
The more opportunities that LUV members have to buy hardware at discount prices the better. There are lots of different devices that serve different needs, and giving everyone the opportunity to buy stuff that suits their needs cheaply is a good thing.
The bikeshedding has thrown up some interesting ideas, but fails to give credit for your efforts. It just reinforces how much easier it is to sit on the sidelines and criticise both the food and the entertainment, than to put on a party oneself. Given that your OP was an invitation to interested parties to take action off-list, I'm surprised at the hijacking of this thread. Erik
