I would say that I agree in substance with Chankey, but that both things can be true.

We just had our first meetup and we've started planning for YAPC::India, really? We must concentrate on normal meetups first, then put our efforts to revive other PM groups (Delhi, Pune, Mumbai, Madurai, Madras, Hyderabad). </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><div><br></div><div style="">And when all PM groups are ready with about 10 to 15 guys in each group, then we can have a India level meetup. That will be the biggest meetup. Then we can try to have such meetup once in 6 months. </div>
<div style=""><br></div><div style="">This India level meetup alone will be a big thing and we'll have to work very hard for that, YAPC::India will demand 10 times for more effort than that, so I see it's not that near.</div>
<div style=""><br></div><div style="">Moreover it will leave bad impression if we start using YAPC::India, there are many countries which have more Perl mongers than us, they have more PM groups with more numbers of members as compared to us, they still don't have YAPC.</div>
<div style=""><br></div><div style="">It doesn't mean I'm not in favor of YAPC::India, YAPC::IN is my dream, but we must accept the realities and should proceed step by step.</div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">PS: Everyone will be having different opinion, so we should have a poll for this where people can vote whether they like to use YAPC::IN in these initial level meetups or not. </div>
