[wellylug] Northern Suburbs ... again??

[Glen Ogilvie]

I agree that meetings in Johnsonville might be a good idea too.  When the 
group gets too big, it seems to become less inviting to new people, and
also, I feel that because linux is such a general subject, it's difficult
to have the whole group focus on one or two things in a night, with
people all being interested in different aspects of linux.

Anyway, that's my thoughts.
