Dear Friends,
I noticed some discussions in this list about fixing one day for usergroup meeting. I think this is a good suggestion . What about fixing every 3rd Saturday as Gnuz Gracing meeting date (but no need of a fixed venue, that we can discuss & fix on the list) . Then we can include it in the development calender, which will help us to get more participation of n00bs.
What you people think about this ? Or any other day?

Dear Anivar, Lawrence, Santhosh
Hello again,
Here is the bare bones development calendar for Bangalore. It is a modest effort to share information about events/programmes planned in Bangalore.
If you would like to share your open programmes (FOSS, VIBGYOR or anything else that you know of in Bangalore), please update this and send it to office@openspace.org.in We will then circulate it on invites@yahoogroups.com to a larger audience. It could be updated and circulated periodically.
1. Please fill up with other occasions that we could celebrate and/or organise together in Bangalore. Please mention your organisation and contact details (email and/or phone) after the date and occasion. 2. If the information is wrong, please update, edit or modify as required. 3. If you want your organisation and contact details to be removed, please do let us know. 4. The monthly ABC meetings are to share information. If you would like to be part of the effort please add your organisation name at the end of this mail.
Do circulate this to others who might be interested.
best wishes
Edwin
