where we can finally realize just how awesome it is to see a person face to face by offering us a social environment where we feel safe and welcome due to a common interest.
Linux User Groups bind geeks back into human interaction. Who says it has to be Linux interaction?
The difference is that they occasionally, you know, talk about cycles. They ride em around town, and maybe BMW holds an event. Imagine if the BMW group only ever talked about Harley Davidson, or political views on immigration. It too would be dysfunctional.
Here, we have a discussion dominated by a few, to the active disinterest of a good number. We can agree to personally filter and ignore. We might even agree to make these hidden filters explicit. But something more is needed. We need people to present their work. For example, I don't think I've seen you mention Neuros Technologies on the ML yet, even though it's of prime interest to the group. I'm curious, why haven't you mentioned it at all?
