Hi Nick, We have already announced the event on the Meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/CloudStack-Bangalore-Group/events/104410272/ and https://citrix.podio.com/apache-cloudstack-india-user-group/
Around 27 people signed up so far, and once we announce the venue I am pretty sure that the number will go up. We have observed this pattern with the Meetups. We have also tried to reach out to the Hadoop and Cassandra organizers. However, we have not yet heard from them. We shall try to contact them, again. Hyderabad CloudStack members who are also part of Hadoop, have already announced on the Hadoop Meetup page. Now, it is only the matter of venue, and for which I copied the CloudStack leadership on a different thread because I thought they have the right contact to help us find a convenient venue. We shall sort out the venue part today and mail you with details.

Given that we're aiming to do something in only about 4 weeks time, and we ideally want to announce the date + venue by Thursday, don't let perfect get in the way of good enough! All being well, this'll be the first event of several. Being the first, and given the short lead time, we won't have as many people as future events may come to have. So, we don't necessarily need a huge space somewhere amazing, especially not if sorting that out will take too long. You guys are the ones on the ground, who know Bangalore, know the venues, know the tech scene, so you'll need to be the ones to decide. Ideally we want to announce before the end of ApacheCon, so I suspect what we can arrange quickly and will host the kind of numbers we expect is going to win out as the best option! Nick
