Re: [BLUG] meeting identifiers and other options

As a long-time meeter of people I only knew from online, I can say that
an identifier (like a penguin) would work, but a better option may be
to get photos of the folks that manage to attend regularly up. Better
still would be some photos of some of the meetings (both social and
structured).

Plus, I think photos may help encourage people to attend a little
better. If there are photos of some of the meetings, they can get an
idea of what happens. Worst case, someone can tell the spouse, "I'm
going out to meet a bunch of crazy Linux fans. If I don't come back,
these are their names and pictures."

Just my two cents. I'll be stuck in Indy until I can either take my baby
home or she's big enough to transfer to B-ton.

Cheers,
