Yay ! We just got our new mailing-list (thanks Terri :-)) which is being moved out of the yahoo groups (yahoo appends each mail with spammy links and whatnot, incredibly annoying...)
Last week Archu had sent me a file with all the subscribers, so i just finished mass subscribing them to the new list. But I am not aware if any new folks joined the list since that day (i am not an admin on the old yahoogroups list). Created a netiquette page (borrowed from here) on the wiki, but it needs work on the IRC and wiki editing guidelines. Am too sleepy to do it now [err.. its 4 am and i need to actually log off and get some sleep, rather than just thinking about it..... ]
Some hours ago I had suggested we do a meet-up in BLR. We are open to ideas,
suggestions, need place to conduct meets regularly, so feel free to chime in.
An oh, if anyone reading this wants to present their technical libre s-w work
please
reply to this thread. I had suggested this to Kushal (waiting for that
mail) and he offered to help us out. See you there Kushal !
Besides the lovely weather in Bangalore, I find its easier to do things when
you dont spend half your life travelling (read Mumbai) ...that alone gives some
time to pursue other interests in life. I always envied folks back in Chennai
(any city besides killer traffic Mumbai) who could catch a theatre or music
concert on a week-day... simply unimaginable for a Mumbaikar !

Dec 29 is good for me.
I never found any other meeting place than Cubbon Park..
IMHO, Mumbai is a less congested city than Bangalore at the moment (having moved back from Bangalore to Mumbai in March).
@devdas: traffic in mumbai is less as compared to Blr but mumbaikars always travel long distances, depend on public transport and the major drawback imo, 'its geographically vertical' unlike any other Metro in India.
