What did you mean, presentations, events, other?  A couple of things 
bother me about this idea.  First, I've got speakers already scheduled 
into the Fall asking for suggestions now which may not get implemented 
until next Winter if at all might be a turn off to people.  Second, 
while you can usually find a few vocal people who are great at suggesting
things to do, the implementation is typically left to someone else. 
Finally, after the poor turnout for the CLIQ, do think there's interest
in local Linux events?

Maybe I'm wrong.  Since we don't have a KISS session to fill in with at
this point, we'll have plenty of time to discuss it.  By I don't want
to be the one leading the discussion and I won't be held responsible 
for scheduling talks on a given topic.  I'll I can do is make requests
if I know a topic is in demand and hope to find someone who will give
us a presentation about it.

I would be interested in being involved in another install fest this
summer or fall.  I could also be interested in a BBQ or some other 
social gathering as well.  But that's about it for me.

I shouldn't let my negativity get in the way of this.  I don't want
to be a nay sayer.  But if you want to ask people what they would like
CLUE to do, emphasis that they are CLUE and need to get involved if 
they want something to happen.  There is at least a dozen people 
(and potentially more) from the group who do seem interested in being 
involved, but I'd  caution you not to put yourself into a position of 
promising anything that your not prepared to make happen yourself.

Pessimistically yours,
