You mean they would come, making (some of) our dreams come true? Yes,
we'd be delighted.

Cool.

Well... A meeting is mostly what me make out of it. Our past formula
has been a mix of drinks, junk food, computers and Internet
connection. Mix, shake and the people have fun. We'd have had a few
presentations (functional programming and OCaml, IPv6) and "other
activities" (GNU/Hurd mini install party, ...) thrown in for various
meetings.
I'd certainly not want an Enosig meeting to become a sort of SHoBo [0]
or bar crawl (again).
The formula can change and evolve, obviously. But I think we had a
good balance of gezelligheid and computers. So let's try to keep the
drinks *and* the computers.

Grmbl. What did I say?
[0] For people not familiar with Stack vocabulary, a SHoBo is a
beer-and-worst meeting where you are surrounded by computers, but
you are forbidden to touch them. Yes, yes, this is organised by
the *computer* club of the TU/e. I assure you.
Hmm... "worst" is a Dutch word in the previous paragraph. Don't
misread it.
