Dear all,
You are kindly invited to the meeting: Fedora meetup, Bangalore on 2016-06-25 from 18:00:00 to 20:00:00 Asia/Kolkata At Bangalore
The meeting will be about: # Monthly Fedora meetup, Bangalore
A monthly get together of Fedora enthusiasts in Bangalore to discuss about the latest things happening in the Fedora ecosystem and contribute back to the community. The meetup usually takes place at: Starbucks Coffee Samrat No.2013, 100 Ft Road, HAL 2nd Stage, Indiranagar Bangalore, Karnataka - 560008
I am surprised that the Monthly Fedora meet-up at Bangalore is now quite regularly being held at a Starbucks Coffee outlet. Fedora activities at college campuses I can understand, and should be encouraged, but why Starbucks ?!
We used to have the Monthly Fedora meet-up much earlier being held at the Red Hat Bangalore office, with free coffee/tea, free snacks, and free WiFi always available. I think we could have the meet-up at the Red Hat Bangalore office at least once in two months.
Red Hat being the sponsor of Fedora, it would be good to utilize the facilities of Red Hat for Fedora activities, especially when there is no good reason to have it done elsewhere.
The meetups should not be centralized to a single location like Red Hat as there are people coming from various parts of the city. It's good to move the meetup around the city.
As the crowd was low and the mainly concentrated in Koramangala and Indiranagar, we chose meetup location in either of these two places and not only Starbucks. I remember doing it in Hasgeek and HackerEarth office couple of times. One of reason of choosing Starbucks was to keep the meetups informal.
