definitive answer.
My guess is that arranging for the auditorium or, even an informal
gathering place at a reasonably quick notice is difficult to do. There
aren't many places at Pune where you can get together, sit around and
then break off into smaller circles of discussion. Especially at that
hour of the day.
That said, the "classroom" did encourage the students (the newbie
contributors) to speak up in familiar surroundings. So, it actually
worked out fairly well although Erik and Danese ended up doing a bit
of back and forth on moderating and queue-ing up the questions.
