Hi All

The meetup was well received and there were seven talks. We experimented
using PeriScope and mobile camera to capture the videos [0][1].

The complete event summary is available in the blog post [2].

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

You're absolutely correct. My bad, I forgot to mention old format will
remain. We will shuttle between all the available formats -
Talks, Flash Talks, Workshop, Dev Sprint.

It would be good to accommodate 2-3 meetups in a year with full-length
talks too. Few topics cannot be covered as Flash talks and also full
length talks helps people prepare for their talks before PyCons.

Overall I am +1 with the new format.
