Hi Upasana,
While the agenda is perl , we should put up some sort of a plan for
attendees so that they know what to expect, Look at the url below for the
python and ruby meetup they have a clear agenda on what to expect . That is
what I meant when I said agenda.
We need not plan things like lightning talks or discussions but we should
figure out what the audience wants and someone can prepare for the talks
based on what the audience has requested. I will open a new thread and
hopefully we will get some answers.
