yes! thanks for opening this and adding that topic

A humble suggestion: I really enjoy hanging out and I appreciate all the hard work everyone puts into these meetings. But I think we could make them more valuable if we focused on a single topic and went into more detail. Maybe we could have someone give a technical talk or demo on a topic about which they're really knowledgeable. Have we ever thought about doing that?

Good suggestion. We've had a few months where we've had technical talk and/or demo, and really enjoy those. So if you or anyone you know would ever want to do one or suggest one we'd love that, and then we will also extra keep this in mind going forward especially for the months where a bunch of folks are in town that would be good experts for a specific topic to do a technical talk or demo on (and see if we can talk them into it).

Appreciate ya @rkuester, don't be too humble, hope to see you soon!
