It is good to see such enthusiasm on the list. While I still think
that we have a ways to go, the signs are encouraging. There are two
possibilities of venues that I see:
1. TaxSpanner office at Netaji Subhash Place (opp. the big TV tower
near Pitampura,North Delhi). 15-20 people can be accommodated, and
snacks, etc., can be provided for. WiFi, too!
2. If a more central location is desired, I can almost certainly get
Prof. Andrew Lynn to provide JNU as a venue.

Let me know, as and when a venue is finalised.

One last comment: It seems like that we are forcing people to sign up
to walled gardens where as the saying goes: "the product is *you*"; be
it Facebook, Twitter, or meetup.com. I would strongly urge that one
should be able to do *anything* needed for participation by virtue of
being a member of this list. It should not be a requirement to give
away the remaining shreds of one's privacy just to participate in
Delhi/NCR Python activities.
