We have a lot of hackers joining the group from other cities of India as well.

If anyone want to plan a similar event in other cities in India, I suggest to use our Meetup group at http://www.techmeetup.in and leverage the existing user base.

In that way we can build larger base and utilize the same mailing list.

if something is happening in pune, i would be very interested. as others have chimed in, bangalore was not such a great experience for me either.

[suprgeek → signa11]

+1 for Pune. Would be fun to meet other HN folks in-person.

[yummyfajitas → suprgeek]

+1 more. Anyone want to suggest a time/place? (I've only been here a few weeks, don't know my way around yet.)

My suggestion: we pin down a time/place, a few of us precommit to being there, and we post to the main page. Others will show up. At least, that's what happened last time I tried this.

I'd propose Sat Jun 11 or Sun Jun 12 as a possible date.

I've started to feel that startup culture here in Bangalore is not as much as it is believed. I want more fellow hackers to confirm this.

[braindead_in → skbohra123]

I used to be a regular at the Bangalore circuit few years ago at TiE, Barcamps, MoMo's, Headstart etc. It got a bit monotonous; same people, same stories etc. Then the downturn happened and I also got busy. The events still are happening though. Barcamp 10 dates are out. On Meetup there are a few tech related events in Bangalore too; MySQL, PHP, etc. Don't know how active they are.

[RealGeek → braindead_in]

Same thing happened in Delhi too, Triggr.in is the new spark.

[braindead_in → RealGeek]

Looks interesting. I guess Bangalore needs a new spark too.

barcamp 10 is happening in banglore this saturday

Perhaps not unconnected to the following http://www.rediff.com/business/slide-show/slide-show-1-benga...

[paraschopra → skbohra123]

Well, I don't know about Bangalore. With events like Triggr and these meetups, the culture Delhi and NCR region is evolving into a tight and supportive community. Glad to be in Delhi!

[RealGeek → paraschopra]

Same here, never been to Banglore. But, ecosystem in Delhi NCR is heating up. I wouldn't want to live in any other city in India.

Hope we could get few nice co-working spaces in Delhi.

[skbohra123 → paraschopra]

other than having a good weather, the other problems related to culture, language and connections are too high for someone coming from north. I am not sure if I am much happy sticking to Bangalore for long enough.

[RealGeek → skbohra123]

Come to Gurgaon, its turning into a startup hub.

[kailashbadu]

Is it good time to be in Delhi considering the latest clash between government forces and Ram Dev supporters ? I guess there is a sit-in at Raajghat. It seems BJP has also joined the fray. But I guess that won't affect the usual business, would it ? ( I am not from Delhi so I have no idea how things work there)

[RealGeek → kailashbadu]

You wouldn't even know about it if you don't watch / read Indian news.

[RealGeek]

We had a meetup in Delhi NCR last month. Around 25 hackers showed up, and we had great time.

We have booked a bigger venue to accommodate more hackers this time.

[paraschopra → RealGeek]

Ravish, thanks for organizing this meetup. Last time it was a great event. Enjoyed candid startup experiences (from raising VC funding to expanding team, etc.) Hope we can make it even better this time.

I have recently relocated from Hyderabad to Bangalore. Would love to meet hackers in Bangalore.

[neilxdsouza]

Anyone planning something similar from Mumbai?

[rounak → neilxdsouza]

+1 to Mumbai
