Kevin I think that they should just be put together on the fly. I have no doubt there'll be people show up. I just think planning them out for the year with with agendas and themes (workshops, SPS talks, sump discussions, etc...) seems a lot like making unofficial meetings official.

I also think it should be more something members take on themselves to do. The more MAAST is involved in the planning, paying, etc... the more official of a meeting it becomes.

I know I sound so negative about this, but I really do like the idea. I just live so far away that I can't host or sponsor much.
