CE Meet @ Pune/Mumbai (India) - Join In!
CEans,
The thought has been around for a long time on CE - CrazyEngineers offline meet!
I'm sure each one of us would love to meet other CEans offline. I'm currently located in Pune (India) and we may have a meet here. The date, time & agenda is yet to be fixed. So in this thread we will -
1. Find out who's interested in CE Meet.
2. Choose a suitable date & time [and venue as well]
3. Fix the agenda for the meet.
Even if you can't join us for the meet, please do spread the word through Email or IMs [or whatever way you can].
Jump in!
Count = 1 now. [Confirmed]

1. moi!!
2. Mumbai (preferably) .. Pune (June onwards) ... Saturday and Sunday
3. CEans can be the ambassadors of CE at their colleges to post latest happenings on their campuses. We could then have one more section on the main page - Campus Rumpus. What say?
4. Saw the celab.tk site. First thought that it is some celebrity site ๐, then saw the site itself. Suggest further PoA be discussed about the different projects on the same.
Count++; -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
We'll announce the D-day at least 1 month in advance, so that it will be convenient for most of us to join in.
Moreover, the meet will happen on weekend.
๐ [Oh yes, the success of the meet depends on YOU. Yes, Y-O-U! So spread the word! ]

Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Guys, let's keep the discussion confined to CE-Meet.๐
Let's keep the location Pune or Mumbai unless we have some serious organizers who are ready to take the initiative. -

raj87verma88Re: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Thanks a lot Kida for explaining the meaning of POA. I was foxed by the abbreviation too.
@biggie: Your idea is good but can it materialize. What about the money, a place for members to stay, food will have to be served. All this needs money.
Like SAE and IEEE and other societies like IMA (Indian Medical Association) etc let us first make chapters of CE eg Delhi chapter, Mumbai chapter, Egypt, Malaysia etc
We can first have the meeting of a chapter where all the locals can come. After 2-3 such meets we should decide about the Combined CE meet.
We can also search for companies that would be willing to have their name associated with CE and will sponsor all such projects though all members will also have to pay some fees. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Oh, I should have mentioned that. Of course this is not a sponsored meet. Anyone who's free on ourdate and can come down to venue, is welcome.
We've a long way to go before we can host a all sponsored CE World Meet. So I request CEans in Pune/Mumbai to join in!
But one thing is sure - we must get started somewhere. All of you are free to host CE meets in your cities! In fact, it would be really great if some of you can initiate CE meets in your cities. -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Count me in. My take would surely be Mumbai. But I'm open to travel to Pune for a day.
As a point of action (PoA) I think we should pen down the agenda and the duration of the meet. This will be helpful in deciding the venue. My suggestion is that lets keep the meet very playful and with all possibilities should be held in a resort accessible to all of you guys. If it is going to be Mumbai then I'll take the responsibility for the arrangements with some help from locals who wish to join.
In all cases I suggest the minimum participants at 5. Number of participants will govern the choice of venue.
And guys, this is going to be the self help meet. So be ready! -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Forgot to mention, Patty the idea of chapters and sponsorship is excellent but it will take time to materialize. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
I agree with Mayur.
I believe Resort would be a good option if the count exceeds 10. Otherwise, I think we can gather at CCD / Barista for a coffee & chit-chat.
(That's just a suggestion!)
CEans, don't just read this thread, join in!
Update: Let's have 5-6 meets in various cities across the world [CEans belonging to a city can get together]. Once we know that our meets are successful, we'll organize a bigger, sponsor-enabled ๐ , meet. What do you say?
So, do we have leaders here? -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Yeah. We need good participation. Lets tentatively keep the date as the last Sunday of June (28-6-2008). Just a suggestion.
We also need to pen down the agenda. Here I'm adding a few points-
1. CE Editorial team- official incorporation and activities distribution.
2. CE Labs- Discussion on how to go ahead.
3. Formation of CE creative & CE promoters team.
4. Sponsorships, if we can get and if we need them or not.
5. Structuring of CE.
Your take... there may be many other suggestions. Just waiting to hear them. -
Prasad AjinkyaRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
As far as the costing/funding of the meet is concerned, lets keep it TTMM - Tere Tu Mere Main ๐ .. or Dutch. CCD or a Barista would do. -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
I'm in complete agreement for a TTMM. Just in case if the audience is large, a CCD or a Barista may not suffice. So we will need to book a place, which means we will need to collect and mobilize funds prior to the meet. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
There you go fellas!
It entirely depends on how many us gather. In my personal opinion, there won't be more than 10 members. Assuming that there won't be >10 members,
I propose following ๐
1. All of us gather for Lunch/Coffee
2. Discuss stuff (Ref: Mayur's Post)
3. Go to a nearby Multiplex and watch a movie. ๐
This can be pretty much TTMM. -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Wow Wow Wow!
I'm up on my toes already. Biggie put a poll on Pune and Mumbai and if there is any other city people prefer to meet (only in India, sorry folks!)
Lets do it for sure this time. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Muwahah!
Sure thing! I'll post an announcement on the front page of CE as well ๐
But mouth-to-mouth publicity helps. Let's spread the word ๐ -
gohmRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Be sure to post lots of photos for those of us who would have too long of a swim to join in. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Yep! I 'personally' take the responsibility of the photographs. We'll put them here ๐ !
Where are all the people from Pune, Mumbai & nearby areas? Hello! -
MaRoRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Good luck guys ๐ -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Thanks Buddy... We need that! -
Er.AtulSinghRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
HI all
I would be very glad to be a part of the Meet
Just decide the Date, time n venue . -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Yes sire, that's what we're discussing. Right now, we've votes for Mumbai & Pune [Venue, TBD].
All we need is some good response. So help us spread the word! -
just2rockRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
IO would like to join offline...at Kolkata
Topic of discussion:-How to spread the word CE all around ! -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Sure why not? We certainly will have a laptop and net connectivity.
CEans... Wake up. Look forward to more response for this thread. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Hey, excellent idea! I guess we can setup a live cam at the CE Meet for the rest of us to join ๐
What a wonderful idea! -
just2rockRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
๐So. ultimately this Offline Idea of mine makes a wonderful new innovation...for all of us to join Ce meet..not being present their physically....wallA! I should be rewarded .....once again;-)

Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!

suyashRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
I'm in...
location wise, both are okay for me (mumbai and pune)
but pune is better
but I can confirm only after the final date is finalised... ๐ -
Mayur PathakRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Good to hear that from you Suyash. The location is going to be one of those. Lets gather some more participation, we will soon finalize the date. -
Kaustubh KatdareRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
Don't worry about dates/venue & agenda. We'll make sure that its announced at least one month in advance. ๐
I guess we should put up an advertisement in local newspaper ๐ What say? -
suyashRe: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
thanks for the one month advance notice...The_Big_KDon't worry about dates/venue & agenda. We'll make sure that its announced at least one month in advance. ๐
I guess we should put up an advertisement in local newspaper ๐ What say?
but since I would be going to Hyderabad on June 23rd to begin with my first day at work, I doubt it would be possible for me at a later date after that ๐ -
Mayur PathakHmmm. Thats a genuine concern. But we will surely work out a way around it.
-
Prasad Ajinkyaso lets make it before june 23rd ๐ ... 21st june .. wat say? Its a saturday folks!
-
Mayur PathakI'm on for it. What say guys?
-
Kaustubh KatdareI'm game!
So its three of us now. What about the venue & the agenda?
I'll need it to announce on the front page ๐ and all over the forums ๐ -
Kaustubh KatdareHere's the list of probables ๐
1. CEan - Mayank (From Pune)
2. CEan - Pradeepagrawal
3. CEan - Xero (from Nagpur, Currently in Pune)
4. CEan - KGV (from Nagpur, Might be in Mumbai)
Way to go guys! :mrgeen:
So the count is Confirmed: 3 + Probables 4 => 7 ! woo hoo ! -
Mayur Pathak๐Add another 3 and we will have our threshold achieved. Agenda was discussed in my old post (refer post no. 13) Add or modify a thing or two and we are all set.
Venue, well for such a small audience, I suggest CCD at the FC road. Time would be around 4 pm. After the meeting we can push off for a movie or for a dinner at Banjara Hills.๐
What say? -

I'll try to chip in more folks from Pune. There are long time lurkers I know who don't like to type. ๐
I'm sure CEan - Prady will join in. Probably we'll get more numbers if the meet is in Pune !
So, let's keep it Barista / CCD on FC Road ๐ on 21st June. What say fellas?
ps: We'll try to have a live video streaming through Skype/YM so that CEans from all over the world can join in online! -
pradeep_agrawalI am also interested. I am available on all weekend and i will prefer Pune as Venue. I am a Computer Science graduate, so as per my field some points of discussion can be:
1. Project we are currently working
2. New technology/tools/process we are using to increase productivity/quality of work
3. What we can do all together.
Others, please add your suggestions also.
-Pradeep -
Mayur PathakWelcome Pradeep. You are fourth confirm member who will be attending in person.
Wow I cant hide my excitement. :myparty:
Lets rock guys!!!:dance: -
suyash21st June, is final then... ??
Aww... It's no use now, but since 23rd is my joining date, I will be leaving Nagpur on 21st June itself ๐ , or else I would have already been packing for the CE meet...
If possible, can we make it a week earlier, say on 14th June??
anyways, best luck for the CE meet guys...
make it a one huge successful day !! -
Kaustubh KatdareThumbs Up @ Pradeep.
I had a chat with CEan Mayank & CEan Xero and both of them are interested. So I guess we can count them in ! ๐
Count => 6 ๐
Suyash - I'm not sure about 14th June. If its not possible for you to attend, you can very well join in through Video Conference ๐
I hope my reliance netConnect will be fast enough to support the video conference. -
Ashraf HZRegarding project discussions, is it possible to set up a place where CEans can work on experiments or projects? Perhaps rent a workshop or something?
Xero is still around? Haha.. what is he up to these days? -
Kaustubh Katdare
Posting on Xero's behalf -ashRegarding project discussions, is it possible to set up a place where CEans can work on experiments or projects? Perhaps rent a workshop or something?
Xero is still around? Haha.. what is he up to these days?
I'm alive and great these days. Will be visible on CE pretty soon, and its nice thinking of setting up a CE Research Lab TM.. ๐
CE's banned in his office and he can't access. We're certainly making progress, what say guys? ๐
Way to go folks!
Okay, the dates are final: 21st June @ Pune. Spread the word, fellas! ๐ -
Mayur Pathak*Knock Knock*
Any updates? Lets list down people who are coming. Folks, add me to your gtalk those who all are interested to join in. I think the last count was 6.
mayur[at]crazyengineers[dot]com -
Kaustubh KatdareMayur, I think we'll have lots of CEans joining in who aren't regular in discussions. I'll confirm their names and let you know. We'll also have to collect everyone's phone number to ensure that we all are at the venue 5 minutes before time ๐
-
Mayur PathakYes agreed. The interested ones can send their contact details to us by email. But can we have the ones who have agreed already? The reason is, if the population is more, we will need to make arrangements accordingly.

Okay. But I haven't yet sneaked a webcam in a cinema hall. Let's see how it goes ๐.
Btw, movie is entirely optional. Mayur has 'warned' that CE meet shouldn't be boring.
This is our first meet and there's a big learning curve involved ! -
xheavenlyxHi guys, ive been away to a different city for a while and wanted to reply to this thread (weak net, so replied one thread before got d/c)!
Anyway, I was seriously thinking of coming to Pune because i have a few friends in Sangli and Bombay. But after a looong discussion with my brain, I think it will be difficult due to my health and also because I will return late (14thJune) back to Dubai! Oh, I wanted to be in Pune sooo badly! This is something new.
So Ill be coming online to watch the proceedings in Barista or CCD! (CCD could be better, choose good music and broadcast it to all of us online! ๐
Looking forward to it ๐
As for the discussions, we can talk about (as others have said):
-New CE Lab projects including Ce Bot and CE Messenger.
-How to productively expand CE. (Not just by number of members)
-A brief look at potential "Small-talk" candidates. -
suyashI can also attend the CE meet online with the help of a Web cam...
but it totally depends on the time of the meet... i.e. if its held in the afternoon (IST)
since I've a flight to catch in the evening on 21st ๐ hehe... No seriously, I'm not kidding... that is the reason why I'm not able to attend the meet personally... ๐ -
tiral22000hey count me in too....i m a new CE member...i m currently doing my training at pune...i'll be fun!!!

Mayur Pathak
Oh what happened to your health xHx. Wish you could have been here. Anyway, this is not the one and only meeting we are going to hold. We will surely meet next time.xheavenlyxAnyway, I was seriously thinking of coming to Pune because i have a few friends in Sangli and Bombay.

This feels like attending an AGM. ๐
Take care and don't worry about the music. Psst! CE top management has good singers. :sshhh: You will enjoy! -
xheavenlyxOh the health part. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis (A cousin of Rheumatoid Arthritis)... Dont usually tell cuz its difficult to explain its biological working. Walking long is difficult, anyway, my treatment will be in bombay by the end of this year, so then I might be able to visit Pune!
Anyway, I hope we all get a reminder in our emails on 21st or something, or ill make a Google calendar in @crazyengineers.com mail for easy reminder... -
