    That may come later but most of the voice conferences quickly turn into fish markets. There's other way - we use Google Hangouts.

    But having a text-based conference makes sure everyone gets to express their opinon.

    This is just the beginning and we'll take it to newer levels if the initial few conferences are successful. Please keep spreading the word among your friends & colleagues.

    If the participation continues to grow - we'll really have to put a limit on how many can participate.

    We don't want the conference to turn into fish market. I'm sure we all have a lot to learn from our first online conference ๐Ÿ˜€

    I think, we must send a reminder to everyone putting up an AYE here a day before the event. I really want to see a lot of arguments and a fiery discussion. โ˜•

    Alright folks! This is more overwhelming than we thought! Too many participants would make it difficult for us to have a meaningful conversation/conference/debate.

    We're closing the entries for now. Final list of participants will be announced on Friday.

    Those who who couldn't join this time, we'll be doing this more frequently - maybe twice or thrice a week.
