Hi All, >> Why does one have to choose between one of the two? Blame me for that, read on.
> Then we will have to chuk the Linux tools meet idea, No I think even if we are having two meets that is ok once in a while. Delhi is big enough for two meets. Postponement is a bad idea. >> From next month you can schedule them on different >> weekends? I for one >> would, given an option, like to attend both! Next month onwards :-( > Well we have been trying to schedule the two > seperately, but the main meet has got delayed (from > 3rd to 4th sunday) and sarai has been booked in > advance for 4th sunday. I had assumed from Mary's mails(on the devel list) that last Sunday would be the developers meet. This time the speakers didn't volunteer too soon(not that I had mailed in good time calling for speakers) I delayed it to 4rth Sunday. We have been preparing for the Dev. meet since a long time with speakers confirmed almost a month ago. When I checked with Mary if we could delay the devel meet he told me that he had already invited quite a few people at Sarai and it can't be postponed. We considered postponing the ILUGD General meet to 5th Sunday but we had already invited the speakers, booked the venue(Yash graciously accepted the role of the coordinator), invited the audience so postponing it was deemed infeasible. Next month will see me assisting in the coordination (along with the coordinator of general meet) of the general meet to be held on 3rd Sunday and Vivek to stick with assisting in coordination (along with the coordinator of Devel Meet) of the devel meet to be held on 4rth Sunday. We have star speakers in both the meets and we expect a decent sized audience at both the meets considering the number of phone calls that the meet coordinators have received. We will try to ensure that next month we don't have a clash of dates. In the meanwhile all the volunteers (yes we are always short of them: mail me or Vivek offlist if you wish to contribute as a volunteer) are working for success of both the meets. Hope this is treated as a white paper on the whole issue and we treat this as closed for further discussion onlist. -Tarun _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
