I would lean for option 3, intuit which has a decent big cafeteria ( accom 150-200) ppl and also has separate rooms ( with projectors ?) for parallel sessions. I attended the last barcamp there.  <div><br></div><div>IIITB is again a good option but slightly far which might discourage the city crowd from coming. Less time to do PR to pull people till Electronics city , IMHO. But if we can set up things faster, yes. </div>
<div><br></div><div>TERI can accommodate ~100-120 people and won&#39;t allow parallel sessions though. </div><div><br></div><div>-TC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 7:13 AM, BalaSundaraRaman <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:sundarbecse@yahoo.com">sundarbecse@yahoo.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<p>If we expect a good crowd and wouldn&#39;t mind the distance, I can vouch for the facilities at IIIT B. I can follow up on this if the majority votes for this. I am an alumnus.<br></p>

<div><br></div><div>1 ) TERI, near CIS can seat upto 100-150 will cost us 11.5 k. in the city but lesser Capacity, no seperate spaces for parallel tracks.</div>

<div>2 ) IIIT B, Electronic city - Huge auditorium can seat 300 and even more on other classrooms. Mostly might be free venue, IIITB students attending event and enthusiastic management but distance from city.</div><div>

3 ) Intuit,Global village, ORR - Can seat upto 150-200 people mostly might be free, slightly out of city, but can attract &quot;IT crowd&quot;.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please let the list know of your opinions for us to decide on it sooner. Sooner the better :) Thanks.</div><div><br clear="all">Regards<br>Srikanth.L<br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://srik.me" target="_blank">http://srik.me</a><br>
