OK, informal BoFs on a specific subject, where 5-10 people is a good attendance, are useful, and can lead to interesting discussions. If needed, space for such meetings can be provided at Sarai, JNU (if Andrew is willing), or at any other place. Certainly, we can arrange that Sarai premises are available at a specific time, say every Sat., on a first-come, first-serve basis for anyone who wishes to hold such a BoF, with an announcement being made at least by Thu. of that week. However, where is the role of the LUG in this, as presumably a different set of people will be attending each meeting, and there is little common interest among the groups? One possibility is to have a monthly LUG meeting where the various groups come together to discuss what each has done, and investigate whether there are any shared interests. However, this would require some kind of a commitment from the groups to send a representative to such a generic meeting. How does that sound? Would it be possible to have people from any such special-interest groups comment on this idea. [...] > Agreed.

Hold a BOF and I'll be there (schedule permitting) - [...] Could you start a Wiki page on http://wiki.linux-delhi.org (you will need to register), listing these topics, and announce the same here, asking people to enter their names under the areas where they are interested?
