Forget all this training and meeting stuff (well, not really forget about
it).
Having tutorials and classes is great. But what'd be really useful is a
group project. Something practical that we can all contribute to and learn
from. LUGs setup servers and have installfests and all that jazz. We need
sprints and projects and things.
I can't speak for everyone, but I learn and retain much better from
practical application of research/training than in any class.
