There is no harm is discussing specific issues at Lug meets it may
encourage people to attend,

it also shows that rather than just being social as a community we can
share information and support each other.   Having regular talks /
workshops looks good, shows the community is active etc.

in contrast

I wonder if one can go to a windows user group meeting and get someone
to talk everyone there through windows permissions free of charge, or at
very very little cost.  I doubt it.  Can you go to such a meet and get
windows installed free of charge, nope

lets look at this as a way to high light the differences between free
and closed source software communities.
