Thanks #-Link-Snipped-# Let us decide a date from any of the two weekends that fall between 15th and 25th July.
Kaustubh Katdare

Have a proper agenda for the meet. Should be a little more than just a casual meet, I think.
eternalthinker

Yes. People, place your votes on either 16th-17th or 23rd-24th

Personally I'd prefer the earlier date 😁
But let the choice of date be one that supports maximum participation!
Harshad Italiya

Great initiative! All the best for meet.
Neeraj Sharma

Good Luck for the meet guys... 😀
silverscorpion

Any weekend is fine. But it's better if it is in the evening, (after 1 PM) since I might have some things to be done in the morning.
Ankita Katdare

Yup the timing can be 4 pm onwards. We need more CEans from Bangalore. If anyone of you know any CEans from Bangalore, please tag them here.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

I am tagging the super heros of Hyd meet, The Avengers 😀

If it's anytime around 15th July, I can come! After 20th it shall be too tedious for me!
Reya

The same goes for me. I won't be able to attend if it is after 20th.
Ankita Katdare

We have two options -> 14th and 15th
or 21st and 22nd.
I think we should plan a two-day activity for all CEans joining in.

Let us take votes from most CEans and decide a date first.

I will try my best to attend the meet, But I can't say anything right now.
Hafta see with my work.
And its good if the meet is on sunday.
eternalthinker

We can always move the main part of the meet to a sunday. And plan two-day activities including the CEans who can reach early in the weekend 😀
optimystix

I'll be visiting Bangalore for some work 1st week of July onwards and staying almost the entire month. I'll try to attend the meet and get in a few people too.
Ankita Katdare

#-Link-Snipped-# Thats great. Think up ideas for spending quality time with CEans and post them here. #-Link-Snipped-# what do you suggest?
#-Link-Snipped-# Thats just great! 😀 Ask everyone to RSVP yes.
durga ch

, i was thinking .. may be sunday and monday??
monday- we can visit few local engineering colleges for promotion of CE? may be we could borrow like 30 mins of the class and introduce them to CE?
(can this be called an agenda???)
Saandeep Sreerambatla

But Monday leave for many people might be difficult! My manager is ready to kill me now for the number of leaves I took in last 6 months 😀

when can we get the confirmed dates? Need to apply leaves 😛 or start saying some stories.
Ankita Katdare

Why have #-Link-Snipped-# and #-Link-Snipped-# RSVPd 'Maybe'? 😨
Also, we want a word from you #-Link-Snipped-#

Dates can be confirmed only when a majority of CEans from Bangalore agree to attend. Else we will have to postpone the meet.

Dear AKD,
I have a roving commission. There is no guarantee that I would be in town on any given day. I would love to attend at least for a part of the event. I will have to take a rain check. I shall keep track of the developments and turn up if I am in town.

As I said, I would be able to attend if the meet is in the evening. I'm quite held up in the mornings on both Saturday and Sunday. That is the only thing to be confirmed. Otherwise, I'm free in the weekend, and will be able to attend.

Saandeep Sreerambatla

Is the date confirmed? any updates here?
eternalthinker

Folks, according to the date suggestions in the replies, what about focusing on 14th-15th.
Those who might be having issues with the above weekend please reply.
Ankita Katdare

If there are not sufficient people on any of these days, we can postpone the meet by a few weeks.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

yeah, lets say that the dates are 14th and 15th and see who all will turn up.

If the head count is less lets postpone this meet to next month or next possible date for a huge number.
silverscorpion

14th and 15th is fine for me. Who else is in?
Saandeep Sreerambatla

14th and 15th I am IN 😀
Prashanth_p@cchi

Me, I'm In 😀
eternalthinker

Everyone, do comment on this date.
Those who can't, please do specify a convenient time (may be weeks later as AKD said) when they can attend.

A complete info will help us to plan out things better 😀
BTW I'm okay with virtually any weekend ! (as long as I'll be in Bengaluru then, and no unexpected appointment comes up)

PS: What about putting up an excel sheet in google docs where interested CEans can express their date suggestions/convenience in a better way?
Ankita Katdare

Looks like we don't have many 'active' CEans from Bangalore right now.
#-Link-Snipped-#, #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# what to do? We can still conduct the meet, if most of you agree to turn up there.

Saandeep Sreerambatla

The list of people who are ready for the meet are more or less the people who attended the HYD meet.
So, Do it really make sense if we meet again at Banglore?

Since , I see after the meet the people who attended the meet are regular here (Especially myself) so I would say we need few people or majority of the people from Banglore so that we can have them active again.

Lets see for few more days, if anyone from Banglore could turn up.
durga ch

If I am in shift then its an issue. unless our roaster gets generated i cant promise. I will let you guys know by july 1 .
Saandeep Sreerambatla

Lets say if we have 5 members from Banglore we will meet 😀
Saandeep Sreerambatla

And, Can #-Link-Snipped-# make to this meet?
optimystix

^ I too would like to meet him 😀

I cannot say anything for sure at the moment. As of now, I cannnot meet you guys on or before 15th~16th July. Even afterwards I cannot guarantee my participation as it would depend on my work that am going there for. Even so, I would try my best to be present 😀
xheavenlyx

Google+ Hangout for us who cannot be present physically. One person can bring the laptop and we can set up the meet through Google+ account of CE, if CE has one.
Ankita Katdare

#-Link-Snipped-# Yes. We did get godfather and Biggie on video call in the Hyderabad meetup.
So, what say guys, should I book the tickets for Bangalore for a weekend? Please speak up, so that we can have most members attend.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

Guys confirm your presence here by the end of this week. People will start booking tickets 😀
eternalthinker

Yes, let the head count begin 😀
durga ch

i will definlty confirm by this weekend. Thats when raoster for july will be rolled out
Reya

So, CEans who are willing to join the meet via Google+ Hangout should RSVP as "Yes" there?

#-Link-Snipped-# You gonna join in Google+ hangout?
Reya

I would like to mention that only 9 people can join in Google + Hangout.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

#-Link-Snipped-# : Let us know about your presence.
silverscorpion

As I said, I'm completely fine with 14th/15th, as long as it's in the evening. The next weekend (10th/21st) will also work for me. I'm available on any weekend.. Who else's presence is confirmed? So, what say we fix a date and place?
Ankita Katdare

I think most people are ready for 15th only. Thats too early. Anyway, I will find out ways to reach there.
Ankita Katdare

#-Link-Snipped-# The headcount will be -
Myself, you, #-Link-Snipped-#, #-Link-Snipped-#, #-Link-Snipped-#, #-Link-Snipped-# and if possible we can travel to be where #-Link-Snipped-# is. I don't want to miss this opportunity to meet every active CEan from Bangalore.

#-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# you guys please confirm soon. Will book the tickets for 14th and 15th July.
Ambarish Ganesh

My 'Maybe' has changed to 'Yes'! 😀 I'm definitely coming.
xheavenlyx

#-Link-Snipped-# Can you give me the Google+ details? I have been out of touch for a while and who will be the invitee etc. Biggie, has me in his circle do I need to add someone else too?

#-Link-Snipped-# we can work out that. We wil come to hyderabad and then we can drive from there to bangalore. No need of reservations then. But still, if 22nd is fine with most people, lets go for it.
Reya

I cannot confirm my participation right now. Bangalore is just 3.30 hrs from my hometown. I will try my best to attend the meet. If not, I will join you people in Google+ Hangout.

This is a fantastic option 😀

To me guys, all weekends I have to be at office in July and August. So if we confirm any weekend I will inform that I will not be coming 😀

I am YES for the meet!
Ankita Katdare

Great. I am changing the date of meet to 22nd July, Sunday.
We will try to be on Bangalore on 21st and 22nd.
#-Link-Snipped-# I leave it on you to decide upon an agenda for the two days.
Ankita Katdare

Also, let us put up a notice of the meet for a week in July, so that more CEans from Bangalore get to know about the meet.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

Now its confirmed on 21st and 22nd 😀 Nice. I will do my arrangements 😀
eternalthinker

Everything seems to be going great!

The idea of 15th came up just because some date had to be (almost) confirmed to get the opinion from the people 😁
So let us draw the conclusion on the date: the weekend of 21st and 22nd

Everyone, start planning your travel for this weekend, and those who are still tentative try to confirm soon 😀

We will keep the main meeting on 22nd I guess?
Will plan out rest of the agenda with #-Link-Snipped-# !

PS: Everyone who will be coming please RSVP as Yes as soon as you are sure!
Sahithi Pallavi

So finally the date has fixed. Will look in to it and I will confirm my presence in 2 days.
Prashanth_p@cchi

22nd is also fine with me. In fact any weekend was fine!
Looking forward to it 😀

Ok, 21st/22nd it is.

Now about the place.. People from Bangalore update your locations. I'm staying near old airport road. If the locations of those attending the meet are known, we can fix a place easily accessible to everyone.

Is any of the mall okay????? If that is the case then i would like to suggest the new ORION mall, near the WORLD TRADE CENTER . Its really great.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

We need a quiet place, last time at hyd the coffee day was quiet for sometime after that a big group came and it was noisy. We need a place which is calm and mall is a big NO 😀

+1.
And we need to fix an agenda. We can surely have a good discussion about CE. But apart from that, I think CEans from Bangalore should arrange some group activity. CE meet should be memorable to everyone.

That is three and a half hours from Chennai city limits to Bangalore city limits. Usually one hour at each end is needed to negotiate traffic snarls. Unless you are on on a high power Monster bike (and you are a Don).

Hello CEans,

Can we postpone the meet to 29th? CEans who can't attend the meet on 22nd(3rd sunday) are comfortable with fourth weekend i.e on 29th-sunday. Fourth saturday is a holiday for them. They don't need to take leave on saturday.Even I cant attend the meet if it is on 22nd. I can turn up for the meet only if it is on 29th. I want to meet you all. What do you say CEans? DO you guys have any objection ?

Also, I am new to CE, and would love to attend this meet........ This will be my first one!!!!

So, I think the meet can be scheduled on 28th(saturday) of this month since everyone is comfortable with the date.

Guys, decide the venue and agenda of the meet soon.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

Ok, if this is finalized then chance the announcement and lets confirm who all are coming once again. and Agenda and logistics 😀

July 28th - Saturday is now FINAL. No changes will be made to this.
The event above has been updated for the same. Hope to see many CEans there.

So the venue/agenda need to be planned only for Saturday afternoon to late evening right?
I'm assuming that everybody plan to leave on Sunday morning..

If CEans from Bangalore have decided a venue, please post the complete address here so that the first thread can be updated.
eternalthinker

Ankita, I have updated the venue (Cubbon Park) in the event map.

As Cubbon Park is a vast area, I'll be more specific.
We're planning on the area near to Chinnaswamy stadium (See map).
If you zoom in, you can see the smaller MG park beside the stadium.
Our entrance will be around this part.

Now, even if we're deciding to change corner, I guess it won't be a problem since the venue is fixed 😀
Prashanth_p@cchi

Cubbon park!!!!!!
Okay.
silverscorpion

Any reason why Cubbon park? Cubbon park is fine for me, but I guess, somewhere in this thread we were talking about Koramangala. Also, I believe Koramangala would be closer to some people, since they are staying nearby.
#-Link-Snipped-# any comment on this..

And then, what about the agenda? What are we gonna do? Any tentative plans?
durga ch

@ SS.
Cubbon park is suitable for many reasons
1. We wont be haing time restriction as what we have in cafes.
2.Lesser noisy environment
3. Its green

Later in the day, we could stroll to any nearest eatery and have dinner.

Agenda, still needs to be finalised yet
silverscorpion

Ok then, we can have it in Cubbon park. No problem.
Ankita Katdare

Everyone attending the meet - How many of you can be available for 29th Morning in Bangalore?
Depending on the number of people available, we can plan for a group activity (like hiking to a nearby place) on 29th morning. Everyone can be free by noon.

Guys, chances are that we won't be able to make it to the meet. No reservations available. We are trying to work out something, but chances seem too low.

If we can't make it, we will surely join-in on Google+ Hangout or Skype. So please make sure that you get internet working wherever the meet happens.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

what? can you people make it to Hyderabad at least ?
Sahithi Pallavi

#-Link-Snipped-# Why don't you book tatkal tickets? You can easily get it. It would be great if you and Ambarish join with us.
Ankita Katdare

#-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# Oh yes! We are planning for tatkal tickets. That is why I said "we are trying to work out something." Let us hope for best. I will post confirmation by 26th afternoon. 👍
Reya

#-Link-Snipped-# My brother is working in Railways. I will ask him if he can do anything about the tickets.
silverscorpion

hmm... Wondering if flying is ruled out... 😒
Ambarish Ganesh

We're really trying hard to get those Tatkal tickets.
But if those are not available, we'll definitely not be flying to Bangalore. Let's see how things go.
silverscorpion

Let's hope for the best. Besides, I heard tatkal booking has become a lot easier nowadays, since it begins at 10 AM and not at 8 AM. I also heard irctc site response during that time is good. In fact, just the past week, I booked a tatkal ticket for my friend from Chennai to Bangalore. It was hassle free.. So, hope everything works out!! 😀
Saandeep Sreerambatla

Yeah lets hope for the best. our bokings will depend on yours.
Kaustubh Katdare

It's super great to see the enthusiasm here and I'm very sorry that I won't be able to make it to the meet. Behind the scenes, we're working on big things that are taking some nasty long time.

I'll be there on Google+ hangout for sure. 👍

Seems there is a possiblity of me having weekeoff on sat and sun , nevertheless i will be around
Prashanth_p@cchi

I am extremely sorry. I will not be attending the meet. I feel really bad about it. I can'y help anyways. Yesterday I got to know from My Lead that I should be attending office this weekend. 😔
eternalthinker

Prasanth, will you be able to attend by late evening?
Prashanth_p@cchi

eternalthinker
Prasanth, will you be able to attend by late evening?
That is what even I was thinking.
I am expected to be here in office till 9PM.
Actually there is some activity in Production environment that is held this saturday. So it requires the developers who worked on it to stay. If that finishes early, surely I will be available as soon as I can. It takes almost 1 hour to reach Cubbon park from my Office, so it all depends on how long will everyone(CE ans) be available. If you all are available till 10 Pm as it says, then May be I might get an hour or two to meet you guys.

But, seriously I am feeling really bad about it. i almost had a fight at home and with my lead on this.😔
Ankita Katdare

Guys - since all of you are in Bangalore, the meet can happen on Sunday too. Do what is comfortable for all. 😀
eternalthinker

We can do a quick switch to Sunday. But we'll need input from Sandy regarding this.

I can still manage to come on Saturday at least for a few hours.
Saandeep Sreerambatla

I am not attending the meet, I have to be at office tomorrow and its a emergency. I cant give more details as I am at office now.
eternalthinker

CEans of bangalore, now that we have more flexibility with the meet timings (since no one is travelling from outside), let us make sure everyone can participate.

Let me know your suggestions regarding Sunday morning and Sunday evening.
durga ch

Saandeep Sreerambatla

One of my team mate was terminated, so I had to be at office yesterday till 8 PM to clear all his system files etc , and taking backup of whats needed. It was a useless task and I had to do it 😔 and I missed coming to banglore. I promised few of my friends there , now they are like :Grrrrrrr:
Kaustubh Katdare

First of all - congratulations to everyone who made the meet successful! You are the pioneers of first ever CE meet in Bangalore! 👍

Durga and I discussed today that we'll continue to have meets every month and try to cover as many cities as possible. Next meet at Bangalore should follow up soon and I'm sure it will be bigger.

I'll attend the next meet at Bangalore and I'm quite sure it will be a bigger meet. Let's keep the spirit of the CE Meets on!

PS: Photos & updates, please? 😁
