Not an idea, but I do support the idea of meeting up, and I like making it open for minors (and others who prefer a non-alcoholic venue).

I think makers local has a meeting room, so that might be a good place for a meet-up, or one of the pizza places. I think we met at Big Ed's once, or was that hsv.general? 

If there is a desire to gain interest, someone demo-ing the new SteamOS might be a good thing (I don't game, so I shouldn't volunteer). 

[personal opinion (not politics) it kind of bugs be that some people (not this list) think that available alcohol is a requirement for any gathering, and won't show up if if isn't.]
