Also - a few people have mentioned to me that they feel intimidated 
coming to social meets which is regrettable but understandable. 

I've noticed a correlation between the number of tech meets and
attendence at the social and so I'm wondering if people feel that tech 
meets are a good, gently option to being introduced to the more face to 
face side of this group.

Feel free to reply on or off list if you have comments.
