Re: [ILUG-BOM] Meet

On Sun, 13 Jun 2004, Amish Munshi spake thusly:

  Nice suggesstion Harsh but there is a major problem. It is
  very easy to say that someone will speak on something. Finally
  on the day of the meeting most of the speakers usually
  vanish. Finally Either Dr. Nagarjuna or Prof. Shah come to the
  resuce and speak about general topics. Few people who come are
  very bored listening to the same topics (actually no
  topics). Get me people who will speak and who can do something
  better than vanishing. List down the topics one wants to
  listen and then let someone pickup a topic from there and
  speak on that.

If I may ask, why are we so hung up on "speakers" and "topics" ? Can there be no friendly "get-together" of like minded people ? Does there have to be some kind of kinky pseudo class room atmosphere ? I am sure most of us are not interested in sitting for class.
