Yes - more planning and preparation. I don't like the idea of having a formal layout for meetings, but I do like the idea of having specific milestones for each meeting - ie at ALUG5 we will demonstrate foo and bar, or do bar and food.
I would like to see a little more structure to the meetings. I enjoy the "free-for-all" structure of the meetings, but would also like to know what people are planning to demo/showoff before the meeting and some indication of the time they plan to do it. Something along the lines of:
at 2pm - x will be demonstrating... at 2:30pm - y will be demonstrating...
Then people are free to either watch the demos in one area of the meeting room or carry on their own free discussions elsewhere. So, if you are really interested in a particular demo you know when it's going to happen.
Just some more thoughts.
