Hi, Ok, nearly 30 ppl turned up for today's meeting, they didn't get my post about postponement of the meeting in time. They came from all over... Rishra, Barrackpur, Kalyani, Sodepur, Howrah, Salt Lake, Camac Street, Dum Dum as well as from neighbouring Tallygunge & Garia. And *each* of them a first-timer for the meetings -- a lot of whom had become our members during COMPASS.
The first person to turn up was Bhaskar Ghosh with Kendriya Vidyalaya. He came in at 4:13 PM and the last to come was Payal Kundu at 5:15. I tried to speak to all and have asked them to surely turn up for the next meeting. Incidentally, all three volunteers for Bangla Linux effort from BP Poddar turned up. These guys are already in touch with Sayamindu. Everyone who came for the meeting was v v positive. While the postponement was a bit of a disappointment, everybody was v upbeat and took it in their stride, not a single person expressed any "displeasure" at having to come down and find the meeting was off. That was something **really** great. All who came have promised to attend the meeting when its re-scheduled. The LUG also got 4 new members who had accompanied their friends to the meeting. For a meeting-that-never-was (tm), this number is probably the highest the LUG has seen. Great enthusiasm really... the future is in safe hands :-) cheers, --indra. PS.
