Mumbai rocks as 5 CEans beat the heat to enjoy the meet.
😁
Taking a cue from Biggie's hourly update, here is my narration of the CE meet.
About 2:30pm, CEan Mayur Pathak climbs a fast local to Churchgate. He is going to be a part of the Tata Crucible Business Quiz Contest. The competition is at 3:30 and he is worried how is he going to make it by 5 to Shivaji Park, Dadar for the CE meet. Tense yet composed, he manages to occupy a seat.
3:10pm, CEan The Big K receives a call from the editor in chief. Biggie tells Mayur that the Volvo bus has just left Pune and they will take time to reach. Both are worried what if meet gets delayed.
5:07pm, CEan Saurav Goswami calls Mayur asking about his where abouts. Mayur has just landed in Dadar and thinks he should walk to the venue. It turns out to be a wrong decision. Walk is long and the weather hot and humid.
5:30pm, Saurav and Mayur meet. They exchange greetings and wonder if any one had reached or went back because of the delay. Discussion starts casually about whats hot on CE and moves to planing of new initiatives. Meanwhile Biggie calls and tells they have just arrived in Dadar and will be reaching the venue soon.
5:55pm, While Mayur and Saurav and chatting and admiring lot of beautiful girls around, they spot Biggie and Anuragh in a taxi. People wave at each other and decide to settle at a table just outside. After introductions, Biggie opens up his stylish Dell laptop and breaks the news that only 5 more to go for 21000 CEans. Few minutes later CEan KGV walks in.
6:05pm, Discussion starts-
Some take aways-
We need volunteers to be CE Evangelist.
We need to prepare documentation on core topics so that people can make use of it by downloading. This is an appeal for all learned men/women.
Need CE blog? just write to us.
CE Bot and CE IM, guys its time for real action.
PS: Biggie can you add missed points?

6:05pm, Discussion starts-
- Biggie points out that the growth rate in the memberships is phenomenal however there is a dearth of quality content. Every one comes up with various ideas.
- Every one is also given briefing about CE Bot and CE IM project progress.
- Mayur points out that the CE evangelist idea is still lying on the drawing board and need to be seriously looked at. KGV offers to appoint an Evangelist for his college NITIE.
- Mean while every one decide to order coffee and find out that most of the flavors on the menu card are not available. Every one settle for a choco frappe and Saurav orders Devil's own.
- Saurav points out that there are lot of people on CE that are looking for jobs and we can help companies like Infy, TCS to recruit through CE. In short we discuss to innovate the concept of pre hiring employee screening. We ponder whether we can conduct online tests on behalf of companies and help CEans qualify.
- Mayur and Biggie point out that lot of people keep asking for the help in preparing project reports. Since we have lot of experienced engineers on CE, we can create a documentation section where we can keep such notes handy for download. To ensure quality content being posted, we discuss if we should keep the downloads paid.
- Meanwhile Biggie breaks the news that we have crossed 21000 members.
- KGV shares his experiences about starting his new venture.
- Biggie offers to give all the CEans to write their blogs hosted on crazyengineeers (meaning you will have a blog https://<your blogname>.crazyengineers.com ... wow our own CE blogs). Every one says Aye!
