We had limited participation in the channel today and we thought it won't be a good idea to go ahead with the discussion. As there's no solid indication that we'll have better participation at a later time, we decided to do this over the mailing list as people will then be able to respond in their own time. Following was the agenda for the meeting: 1. What went as planned? 2. What didn't go as planned? 3. What could we have done better? 4. General feedback I request everyone to give their feedback on the same. Let me start off with my thoughts: ## What went as planned? I think the events leading up to the meetup went as planned. This includes creating a poster, printing stickers and ordering a cake. Also, the talk by Tejas was very on point. ## What didn't go as planned? I was supposed to give a talk on customising the shell but that didn't happen. My apologies for running away before that could happen. I had an emergency to attend to. ## What could we have done better? 1. Most important is being on time. None of us organisers were on time at the venue. We should have been there atleast 15 mins before the event start time. 2. While planning the meetup, we didn't follow a certain protocol which I now understand is a very important factor. I won't dwell on the details but I'm sure the organisers of the recent meetup know what I'm talking about. 3. While planning the meetup, we didn't factor in the requirements from the venue. The CTF activity clearly needed an internet connection and we should definitely have factored that in. I'm pretty sure an arrangement would have been made possible so that attendees could easily connect to the interwebz. 4. Finally, I think we can do a better job at following timelines in general. ## General feedback I think I've covered everything I had to say in the previous sections. Cheers! -- Dhanesh B.

Dear all, I think, the best way to bring people onto IRC is do a small session on the next meetup, where everyone can create IRC nicks together and join the #pluggies channel. Freenode has tons of nice channels, we can discuss some popular ones, too. > 1. What went as planned? I think, over-all the meetup went smoothly, considering that this was the first time some of us were organizing a meetup. The CTF activity was very fun. The cake was delicious. > 2. What didn't go as planned? There are two things that stood out: 1. Internet accessibility - Those of us on the #pluggies channel were already aware of this as dhanesh95 had mentioned it in one of the team meetings. However, if internet is required, we should mention this in the meetup description, so that the participants can be prepared. 2. Some of the participants didn't have laptops or couldn't find charging spots > 3. What could we have done better? I want to apologize for being late. It won't happen again. If we are going to cut cakes or have some sort of food, we should arrange for paper plates. I think, the most effective stratergy for food is to not have it or use food tokens that can be used in a canteen as Dexter mentioned in a conversation after the meetup. > 4. General feedback I think for the next meetup, we should open a github page or some sort of form where people can give proposals. That's all from my side. Tejas Sanap.
