People are more likely to attend a housing complex meeting rather than a
political rally. Of course I'm excluding political "activists".
Ppl will participate, provided the pain of meeting is less than the
expected gain from the meeting. Let us introspect, why ppl are eager to
go to COMPASS/Boi-Mela but not LUG Meeting. Can we answer the simple
question: what do ppl will get by attending a lug meeting / by LUG stall
in COMPASS.
Let us document it in B/W the focal point and agenda for each of these
meetings, debate it to make it better and focus our attention towards
the goal.
b)There are perhaps a few people on the list with a really good
insight into Linux. How would the theks get the benefit of their
expertise?
Why the question? Do you doubt the intelligence of people leaving in
Kolkata? If the experts are not participating, it is our failure.
General LUG lists are for such interaction. For expert interactions one
should form close groups. It does not cost a paisa to setup a new
mailing list. IMHO specialized discussion is better kept outside the
general list.

My Suggestion:
1. I fully agree to your idea of regular meeting, let us announce a
venue - no frill Dutch arrangement to start with.
2. Specialized topic should be kept in specialized forum. If our
ListAdmin agrees to take the extra pain it can be done under ilug-cal
domain or may be moved to yahoogroups/sourceforge or such other forum.
3. Web-site to list ongoing projects, team members, mile stone dates and
achievements
4. Publication of calender for participation in public exhibition These
should be self supporting and generate fund to support other activities.
5. Organize linux specific exhibition ourselves - Linux compatible
hardware/software etc.
6. Register ilug-cal under societies act
7. Create a constitution and elect office bearer
8. Set up ilug-cal as an organization
