We seem to be asking "Who is taking our active users away?" or "Is Linux so easy and boring that fewer and fewer want to talk about it?"
Would it not be more productive to ask "How do we attract and keep active users?" and "Now that Linux is easy to use for basic things, what can we talk about that is even more interesting?"
Perhaps one meeting should be dedicated to creating a Business Model Canvass for PLUG. (

Just a note from a lurker.
