I don't remember very much, as pdmtl #6 (six) was nearly six years ago. 
There were four presentations and a total of 10 people. The attendance was 
thus much smaller than at the meetings #2, #3, #4, but in the end, our 
average attendance grew closer to that, with the years.

pdmtl #36 (thirty-six) has just happened. We were only seven, which is 
below average. But it was fun, and people seemed happy to meet. Low number 
of people means that the interactions are easier because with large 
numbers, people get shy and don't want to disturb. I think that #36 had 
more questions (during or after the presentations).

No. I think that quite a few presentations would just not happen if we 
recorded them for posterity (or streamed them worldwide). The most popular 
word in our texts is « uhhhhhhh ». ;)

Also, do you speak French ? almost all of the presentations happen in 
French (and not in a european dialect).

pdmtl originally got a real quick start. our record number of people was 
25 at the #3 in march 2004. the problem was in keeping it a large number 
over the years because many people come and go and expectations come and 
go.
