Hi guys:
Based on our experiences organizing events for the spanish user group, here are the things we have done over the past months:
Venue: usually, for each meeting, we look for a room/class/restaurant/bar/public space where we could be confortable speaking without much noise. Depending on the estimated number of attendants, the space could be ranging from small (for 5 persons) to a big space (for 25 - 35 persons).
Equipment: we usually look for places where we can have a screen and a projector, so that we can demo new features, portlets we're working on, public web sites built on Liferay, etc. A WIFI connection and a blackboard are also a good idea, but not mandatory!
Agenda: we usually start with a presentation of each person in the group (who are you? what do you do? why liferay?...) and then start a brainstorm of topics to be treated (each person propose a topic and everybody votes for it: the most voted topics are the ones that are going to be treated in the meeting). That way, if anybody has an interesting idea to talk about, he can receive the votes of the attendants and present his topic.
Said that, this is totally flexible and open to modifications: this is how we have worked, just a recommendation, but feel free to do whatever you want.
Regarding the first meeting by end of March, it sounds great! Let's first look for the venue and then make some noise in the community and contact all community members of the city to start organizing this event.
Thanks, guys, and good luck!

Hey guys, great to see activities being planned! Make sure you decide on a date early enough so that we can get the word out! I'm also hoping someone from Liferay can attend (either from our Bangalore office or someone who may be travelling during that time from outside the region).

Thanks Manish , yes that sounds good. Koramangala would be a convenient location for all.
Lets finalize a date, as soon as we get some numbers.
