Wouldn't it basically
mean just making the meetings more organised - we already have the
meeting,
the website advertising them, and informal talks.
I think the lectures are a fantastic idea and I would definitely attend (as a relative newcomer to Linux I love the idea of having a time table of dedicated lectures where introductory Linux concepts and practices can be discussed and demonstrated; from my point of view this is far preferable to informal talks)
I would be very happy to help with the meeting preparations.

I too think this is a good idea, but it won't happen unless we make it happen.
So, 1st of all who, where and when?
Who would be prepared give a presentation/talk/etc about some aspect of using GNU/Linux?
When is a good time to do this? Evenings? Weekends? Next year, this year, January, February, etc?
Where would be a good venue? Should we use several different venues or the same one for all?
If we're going to do this then the wiki web pages is probably a good place to build up some lists of people/topics/ venues.
We need to avoid re-inventing the wheel so we should find out who else has done this sort of thing (as per the URL supplied) and see if we can get material and advice from them.
