Nothing stops you from organising your own group, inviting people, reservin= g a building, sorting out registration, invoicing sponsors, organising loca= l facilities and lunch, recording the talks, and uploading them online. IC= FP's "rituals" take care of all of that for us (Sylvain did a big job befor= e). Your cathedral analogy also doesn't make any sense to me. I like attending= a few days in one go where I can interact with OCaml, ML, Haskell, Scheme,= Erlang, and F# users at the same time, see talks from industrial users at = CUFP, and enjoy hearing the excitement and wails of the emerging new langua= ges being developed by the community. The rotating locations also enables worldwide users to attend, instead of j= ust European ones. The ICFP/CUFP at Japan a few years ago represented a bi= g jump in attendance from the Asian community. ICFP moves across Europe, A= sia and the USA, which is difficult to arrange with a single user group. Having said that, having more local meetups is a very positive thing. Ashis= h and Christophe have been tracking them here: http://ocaml.org/meetings.ht= ml Do get involved and set up your own. -anil
