<br><br>BTW, I've had a bit of experience arranging similar things ( I used to<br>be Bangalore LUG co-ordinator) and I've got the following suggestions:<br><br>- First fix up on an agenda (even if it's just "General Q and A")
<br>- Use that to get a fix on the number of attendees.<br>- Arrange the venue based on that. (I should be able to handle upto<br>about 25-30 ppl)<br>- Weekend meetings make your attendance drop. People want to go for<br>
Movies or to Pubs on weekends -- Perl (or Linux) is too much like work.<br><br>Old guys like me definitely can't make it on a weekend. I'd suggest a<br>Thursday evening for a meet.<br><br>Finally, it's a good practice to set Reply-To: to the list. It's better
<br>to have these kind of discussions in public.<br><br>HTH,<br><br>-- b<br><br>srinivas raj wrote:<br>> Hi Biju and abhishek,<br>><br>> Can we meet on next saturday i.e aug 25th at spike source( i believe<br>> this is the venue have seen it from the mail archive) between 5 and 7 pm.
