Might be a good idea to have a hangout enabled for the event as well .
Was a good idea for the last meetup in delhi as well.

It is a bit difficult to organize an online hangout from the public place we are meeting. Did you guys meet at any public place or someone's home at Delhi ?

yeah, it was an office I think, but a room . Yeah would be difficult if its a public place. But its always a good idea to have a laptop to demonstrate things to someone new to bitcoin in the meetup. Because people do pop up randomly, by seeing a meetup on meetup.com.

Remember this is Kolkata you are talking about and these are Bengalis that you are dealing with.

You should really stop generalizing.

It doesnt matter if I generalize or not, meetup is a popular site for people that know the site and if someone is interested then by all means 'pop up' at the venue, I just dont think people will come in a kolkata meet.

As usual there were new set of people and the old ones were not available. I am having the same experience every time I am arranging a meetup. So, in effect, every time it is remaining as an introduction phase. All I can say, there are many bitcoiners in Kolkata and surrounding. Some attend meetup while some just communicate with me over phone/FB. But, there is no well organized group so far...

In any case thumbs up for arranging it and keep it up mate.

Getting a new set of people is not bad at all.
It shows that people are still getting attracted to Bitcoin, in spite of the price drop over the last year.

I knew it this would fail. Arranging a BTC meet in Kolkata is a nightmare. Next time if you want to organize the meet send me a FB message / skype message / PM here I will try to see if I can co-ordinate.
