Excited to hear about the venue change from next month... but Chris, you also mentioned a subtle change to the format... I was wondering whether you would consider including 5 minute 'lightning talks'. Kind of open-mike (ie, minimal preparation). I've seen it at other Drupal meets and works well, especially when the MC is pretty strict about presenting/Q&A within the 5 min limit. Can give a nice focus for networking/chit chat - and can be a bit of a warm up for those more detailed presentations. Also a less intimidating format for us not quite-so-experienced Drupalisters to pass on snippets to complete newbies (of which there seem to many each month).
