Hmmm. You could be right. What about scheduling one brown bag, and one

Ah, ok. I misunderstood you. As a warning, historically SFPUG events
where there was not a structured presentation had fairly low attendance
(like, 4 people). So you'll need to see if this kind of freeform thing
appeals to anyone.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I quite follow what you're planning to happen at
these meetings.
