The last LUG meeting was held in Mar/2011, the attendance was rather sparse (IIRC < 15).
I am all for more students attending such meets (e.g. from what I understand there is strong show up of students @ the ILUG Chennai meetings).
I have not seen such an effect @ the Mumbai meets. Perhaps the difference could be that most colleges in the Chennai area do have local LUG initiatives and the LUG meetings are held regularly.
Can the student members in this list do some PR work in their respective institutions and let other students know about such events? The more the interest, more the opportunity/motivation to organize the meets.
Sorry for a late reply.
After discussing with few Lecturers, I have realised that we need to put some more effort for attracting the students and the college officials with some brochure, letters to various institutions (most of the institutions asking for the formal letter in our letter head :) ) etc..
The old lug site had a wealth of such information contributed by luggers.
So I feel, before announcing such events we should meet and prepare well and as suggested while meeting on 3rd Dec we can discuss and prepare the action plans.
So should we fix the Dec.3rd meeting only as LugMum Meeting (not for students)?
Why? Let students attend. The more the merrier.
If so how many of you can attend this? if it's small no.then we can meet any coffee shop.
My 10 paise.
