Could be me but speaking at a conference is the last thing I would be interested in doing, what's more, even attending conferences isn't something that interest me, I just don't see the point. Blogging though is something I'd definitely see me doing.

You're not alone. Definetly not for everyone. My hope is they could provide encouragement for those that do want to give it a go.

FWIW I really like Meetups - often more so than conferences.

That's interesting, I didn't think about the difference between conferences and meetups, good point. Yes I definitely believe more in meetups, more low-key, grassroots, informal, not commercial etc.
