Re: CE Meet @ Pune (India) - Join In!
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 😀, then saw the site itself. Suggest further PoA be discussed about the different projects on the same.
Count++;

Re: 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.
😀 [Oh yes, the success of the meet depends on YOU. Yes, Y-O-U! So spread the word! ]

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

Re: 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.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
Re: 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 our <yet to be decided> date and can come down to <yet to be decided> 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.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Re: 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!

Re: 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.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
Re: 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 😁 , meet. What do you say?
So, do we have leaders here?
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
Re: 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.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Re: 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 😀 .. or Dutch. CCD or a Barista would do.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
Re: 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.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
Re: 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 😁
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. 😁
This can be pretty much TTMM.
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Re: 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.

3. CEan - Xero (from Nagpur, Currently in Pune)
4. CEan - KGV (from Nagpur, Might be in Mumbai)

😒Add 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.😁

Okay! 😁
I'll try to chip in more folks from Pune. There are long time lurkers I know who don't like to type. 😁
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 😁 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!

I 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.

Aww... It's no use now, but since 23rd is my joining date, I will be leaving Nagpur on 21st June itself 😔 , 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??

make it a one huge successful day !!

Thumbs 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 ! 😁
Count => 6 😁

Regarding project discussions, is it possible to set up a place where CEans can work on experiments or projects? Perhaps rent a workshop or something?

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.. 😀

Hi 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! 😀
Looking forward to it 😀
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.

I 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)

Oh 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...
