Sometime Today, Derwyn Dpenha assembled some asciibets to say:
What I'm suggesting some of you may not like it hey it's just an idea that we have been tinkering with for some time, why can't few of the guys meet and just have a discussion on any or all topics or problems they have
We do this in Bangalore and other parts of the world. They are called BoF (Birds of a Feather) meets. You don't need to organise it at all.
You just announce on the list that you'd like to meet up at a specific location and post your phone number. If others are interested, they'll call you back. After the meeting, send a short post to the list about what you did.
