Howdy

Actually my point was even about the release party Tom, only 3 people have
signed up, so yes it's more than about being on an IRC meeting.  If you
dont want to take part on the IRC meeting fine, it's  a useful tool in the
community to let people know what's going on, it's logged and can be sent
to people who's going to take notes at a meet up.

It's about face to face meet up and discussion. Perhaps people want it to
be more technical and have a talk, perhaps they would like something else,
but at present we don't know and this loco seems to be slipping backwards
through no fault of anyone and I'm  trying to help to point out other
areas we can look at .

AS I said at the end of the day there are 80+ users on this mailing list,
there has never been 80+ people posting on here.
