Thought that we need a thread for events happening in India related to Bitcoin, Payments and any area of opportunity to help Bitcoin spread.

Some of the events lined up for this month are:

17th January: Bitfilm Awards - Jaaga Bangalore

23rd January: Bitcoin Introduction at CIS Bangalore
Website to be Updated.

26th January: Bitcoin Meetup at Bangalore
Tentative.

Will try and add some payment conferences across India as well. This will provide a good platform to visit and introduce the payment world to Bitcoin.

The voting idea presented in video has a very big potencial.

[Benson Samuel]

Voting is now open.

I have been told that it has started well, but not as well as expected.

Aaron is likely to change the process a bit and allow free voting with Bitcoin to bump up a vote.
