Strong recommendation for keeping it in the 10 to 20 people range.  More than 
that, and it will tend to become less of a discussion group and more of a 
lecture by a few of the people in the group. 

I might be wrong, but that's been my experience.  It's better if most of 
those present can actively participate.  Better for everyone that way.

Will the meeting space have a whiteboard, chalkboard, and/or overhead?  
Design Patterns almost requires UML and pseudo-code during discussion.
