fossmeet in Delhi/NCR
There is a need for a joined up / country wide approach with fossmeet. Am starting this thread to organise one and find other people to help!

@vik I have started a mail thread with a few active foss community folks in Delhi.

@praveenarimbrathod Thanks - will link people back here as soon as they are in touch. @shreyas Shall we think about when and where? A university campus would make sense - there has been a suggestion of JNU considering recent events.
As for when, how long is required, it would be helpful to know how long the other fossmeets have taken to organise.

@vik Yes it will be a good idea to organise in university campus but JNU issue is still sensitive. Can we get a list first as we need the approval as well for the same.

@shreyas we should also consider hired venues I guess - that worked out pretty well for the Hamara Conference in Gurgaon.

@vik - Agree to that. Let me look for details on conference halls nearby Gurgaon. How much strength can we expect?

@shreyas I think we need to rely on @praveenarimbrathod experience in organising these types of events and base expected numbers on their previous event.

Asked the students at NIT Calicut to share their experience here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fossmeetnitc/2t6r3Y9oIIA
Acharya Narendra Dev college could be one option, IIT Delhi, Jamia Millia Islamiaya could be another option.
We can try and contact folks at JMILug http://www.jmilug.org/ or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/linux-user-group-jmi

@shreyas Is in the marketing team at Tech Blue Software and works on marketing support for open source applications. We are happy to give some resource time from the company to get this event co-ordinated.
