This is not planned to be the usual style meeting we used to have in
the evenings.
This is planned to be a much more high-profile set of meetings,
similar to the OSDC
- the conference - or the YAPCs we had in previous years. It will just
happen monthly.

Regarding the venue, if there is a company that wants to provide us place it
must be from the point that they want these evens (or at least some of them)
to be held in their offices and to be associated with them.

I am also more leaning toward charging money. People at companies need to
understand that what they get here is not just a few friendly people giving free
advice. Just as on the YAPCs and OSDCs the talks are going to be high-quality
that are worth the money and the time.

ps. To be clear, I am not saying the evening meetings of either
language group or the Linux
user groups is not high-level. I am saying that these meeting I am
planning to organize now
will be high quality and should be perceived as such.
