Hi,
My pursuit for a regular venue and location for next meetup has led me
to following options so far
1) http://www.sarai.net/ had a conversation with them they do not have a PA
system and projector is also not working , still i am awaiting to get a date
and booking details with them.
2) USO House : here i had a conversation with Mr Rajan Singh regarding
venue as well as FOSS as a more sustainable business model in context of
SME's , he was more than happy to extend and support us for the meets this
is what he has to say .
"Dear Mr. Satyaakam Goswami,
Let me thank you for the visit to our office. Listening to you on
various issues/aspects of FOSS community was very interesting.
You informed on the interest of having a regular meeting point for the geek
community on monthly basis. This can be arranged and we can have it on
second Saturday of every month from 2:00 to 6:00 pm. Kindly confirm from
your side.
During discussions , I have informed you that Secretariat of* "Network of
ICT Entrepreneurs and Enterprises(NITEE)"* will be extending full help in
taking care of
(i) venue level arrangements
(ii) maintaining regular database of participants
(iii) sharing the agenda of upcoming meet to all stakeholders in Delhi-NCR
(from NITEE data base) for wider and vibrant participation.
For the benefit of more understanding on our part kindly let know the web
site of the community and include us to the community group mail as well.
Lastly, the most important thing remains the
(a) *Participation* for which invitation should reach out to almost all IT
professionals, students,faculty, entrepreneurs in Delhi-NCR. How to do
so?----- kindly share as many contacts you have in database to supplement
the NITEE ones
(b) *Sustainability of venue level arrangements*: As informed to you that
NITEE believes in making technical communities more vibrant and regular in
their physical get-togethers. NITEE is already supporting some communities
regularly since six-seven months like NULL+h4ck3r, gamers etc. It has been
observed that on an average expenses of Rs. 5000/- per meet takes place for
venue level arrangements. You may suggest the persons in various companies
and/or government departments which can be approached by NITEE secretariat
with a proposal to sponser these expenses.
