Mary,

Having been there, seen it all I am repeating my suggestions which couldn't be 
implemented while I was there due to absence of a formal society.

How to get a regular stream of speakers for the longer term who have worked on 
their presentations and technology behind it?

The suggestion I repeat below

LUG as a professional body of importance for technologists(and others) 
promoting Free and Open Source Software should invite ( send postal mailers ) 
to the heads of Educational Institutions(or heads of Computer Science 
Depeartments) in LUG's area of influence and a little beyond, offering to pay 
speakers ( students!!) honorarium ( to cover travel expenses and a small party 
back home ) and issue a certificate ( issued by Secretary/Joint Secretary of 
LUG in Delhi ) for speaking on topics related to themes of the monthly meets.
 
LUG needs to make it a defined and written down process of the society to 
offer a uniform honorarium to students spending time to prepare technical 
topics delivering the presentations, once the presentations (papers!!) are 
accepted.

Each themed meet can be made a competitive event where double the honorarium 
can be paid to the best speaker and a corresponding certificate stating the 
same provided.( criteria can be defined for basing the best speaker on 
audience/judges inputs ).

Even the judges can be invited from amongst the lecturers/professors in the 
educational institutions( NGOs!!) and issued offical Linux Delhi certificates.

This needs a bit of long term planning as in:-
1. Decide the themes for the next 4 ILUGD meets 
2. Invite speakers for the topics under meet themes for the meets to be held 
two months from now.
3. Send out postal mailers to head of computer science departments inviting 
audience for technical topics being presented ( might be a good idea to 
provide certificates or other takeaways related to the talks to the attendees 
too )

The essence of doing it right is planning and providing sufficient time and 
incentive to potential speakers to prepare 2-3 months in advance. 

I know many other LUGs do not do this as they are more successful in regularly 
involving students as volunteers and perhaps even a steady stream of star 
speakers. If we can't invite the stars we must promote a new generation of 
FOSS champions. The best of these stars can then be "invited" to speak for 
ILUGD at bigger fora.

All this should not prevent no more than a single regular "old" speaker from 
amongst the "regular" LUG guys(and gals!! sorry Mary! ) to speak to the 
audience once in a while at the meets.

Most importantly I am not volunteering to help implement this as I am too far 
away from the scene of all the action however I can always criticise people 
who do any actual work and watch from the sidelines to have my fun.

Cheers!!!
-Tarun

As long as there are kachodis in the offing, I volunteer to talk.
Have been playing around with getting multi-lingual support up and
running on my Debian Sarge box and it's behaving more or less OK now,
thanks to the unstinting efforts of Mary, Karunakar, Vivek (Khurana
and Iyyer) and Raj Shekhar on the #linux-india chat channel.

Currently managed to get Indic text input and/or rendering working on
the following:

- - OpenOffice.org
- - Irssi (sort of)
- - Xchat
- - Gaim
- - Shell (konsole)
- - Firefox

If you're interested, can talk about what I did to have everything
working together from the complete layman's perspective -- which is
what I am where I18N and L10N and M17N are concerned :)
