Make the meetings "classes" - I'd find it VERY useful have a Python or Ruby or other language "101" that treats me like I know nothing of this scripting language and has small projects we can build along with an instructor - "everyone, build a script that pings a set of IPs listed in a file" - now follow along... practical lesson(s) that can start people actually doing as opposed to knowing what can be done...

chef - 1
android development - 1
to me.
I did manage to successfully remove a large file from polluting a git repo.
Would people be interested in hearing about that?
What else would people like to learn about?
