[ILUG-Cochin.org] IRC Meeting conducted !!!

[Sameer Mohamed Thahir]

Hello All,

Indeed it was encouraging to see almost 20- 25 people coming for the
first IRC meeting. As there was no agenda as such, what was experienced
was total chaos, discussions on various topics and various aspects,
Although many where unhappy at the lack of a definitive agenda, indeed
it was a chance for many to try out IRC for the first time and to discuss
things online. We hope that the coming meetings ( 3rd sunday of every month)
will see better participation and collaboration with a fixed agenda and 
objective.

Date : 21.06.2009
Time : 4.15pm - 6pm
Attendance : 20-25

The attendees were from various fields including professionals, freelancers,
the media, etc..

The meeting concluded on ILUG Cochin starting a campaign, more 
discussions on this
would happen at the official meeting on 28/06/2009 and the next IRC meeting.

The next IRC meeting agenda would be "Campaign to promote Free Software 
in Kerala".
( as voted by majority).

Indeed for people who were eager but unable to attend the official 
meetings at broadway,
the IRC meeting was indeed a very good experience ( from the feedback ).

Thanks to Anand Haridas and Anandan for actively participating in the 
meeting, and
to Anand Haridas for expressing his ideas and support on the campaign 
planned.

The transcript of the meeting, will be available soon as someone uploads 
it. A mail
will come in this regard.

Hope the next meeting is more exciting, let us look forward to the next 
Sunday official
meeting, Agenda mail will come out soon.

Thank You
Regards
Sameer Mohamed Thahir
