I agree with absolutely everything else you said: a meeting of some kind as a closer is a *lovely* idea, and the more showmanship the better. I just want everyone to be clear that it is not an LLG meeting in the bylaw/business sense; I don't much care what we call it after that. If you want it to inagaurate the community-focused org, I'm fine with that too. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
