[GLLUG] Possible future meeting junk

[Jeffrey Utter]

I see that as a problem.  Most of the time during the free discusion I
find myself interested in more then just one of the topics.  If we were to
break it up, and even go so far as to have different rooms, it would be
more difficult to listen to more then one of the conversations at once.
