For me, yes! I've been a Linux user for about 12 years, moved to the area a
few years ago but I wasn't getting much out of (and not finding a way to
give back to) the meetings so stopped going after a short time. Maybe I'll
pop back in when they are running again if I'm not too tired from work! I'd
be more motivated to go if there was a topic, or someone doing a demo. But
I'm more interested in the system rather than GUIs.

I use mine for XBMC/Kodi (including a file server with external HDD) but
it also proves useful as a general shell account (long running downloads,
persistent IRC session, some crons/scripts etc). I'd be up for demoing what
we use our Pis for.

Out of interest are there any Arch users among us? That is my distro of
choice.
