Hi, A while ago there was a discussion on the group to start outings in different regions. Can we start this again? A lot of new comers like me can learn a lot through such outings and interactions. I live in bangalore and I see that quite a few of us from around here. Can we start 2 outings per month basis? I am willing to co-ordinate the arrangements.
