Smoke organised the first open meet that I attended back in 2009. I was grateful for the opportunity to meet QLers back then, and following the meet I felt that I was more integrated with the site. Smoke is the king of organising such events, and fearless about who he may meet.

These days my diary is too full to attend such events, but back then my diary was empty. As are the diaries of many new to Qatar today.

Good on ya Smoke, and keep up the good work.
