I believe it's important to be welcoming to newbies and newcomers (experienced 
of not), or else we can't expect to grow the community.

Our standard format is like this:

Our first talk is intended to be of a general nature. It can be (and often is) 
technical, but not so much that it becomes esoteric or complex. It should be 
understandable by most people. After an intermission, we split into two 
groups. The main area is taken by an In-Depth Talk, which can be specialist 
in nature. For those who don't want to see that talk, there's another session 
called SLUGlets, which is a general discussion forum for newbies and less 
experienced users.

Our new venue has a large LCD TV (with VGA inputs!) in the SLUGlets area, so 
I'm planning on hosting end-user-oriented presentations.

"Open source is a software capitalist's supreme tool. It enables vendors to 
align closely with their customers and prospects while simultaneously 
undermining competitors' efforts to charge license fees for their own 
products. It's one that Google has been using to good effect in toppling 
20th-century software businesses." - Matt Asay, Alfresco, 2007
