There was a group of people that were interested in debian that came to TLUG many years ago. I know that they met informally as well, but to my knowledge the group fizzled out as people became busy. I can't remember anyone who attended the informally meeting though.

Anyone admit to being part of this group?

I have heard of them happening. I have never been able to think of a
reason they would be that useful. I suppose that is also why they hold
DebConf every year or so. I had considered going to the one last year
in Montreal, but more important things got in the way unfortunately.

I wasn't opposing it, I just hadn't missed not having such a thing.
