Hi roshni, I just saw this post today. I recently thought about posting something like this and I am sorry I missed this. Maybe we can do this next Sunday as well.

Next Sunday will not work for me. How about either 11th/12th of June?

Requesting ssarkar, Karthik and Twig to revert on the proposed dates too...

Hi all, there are regular meetups of Bangalore Freethinkers, Nirmukta & IISc Freethinkers in Bangalore, latest being 15th & 17th of May. It may be a good idea to initiate them in Lesswrong meets. I'm comfortable on 11th/12th June.

I like this idea. After a quick browse, I couldn't find any information regarding any upcoming Nirmukta meets on their site. Are any planned in the near future?

Also, I'm out of B'lore on 11th/12th. So 18th/19th works well for me.

I'd suggest rather than initiating them in LessWrong meets straight away a first step should be to recommend LessWrong to your friends there and then include those who take an interest in it. Else we just merge into their larger community.

Going through Nirmukta's objectives I see a lot of focus on public discourse of science and religion, a lot of discussion on godmen, astrology and the like, which are surely important but not much of a focus in LW.

Anyway, I'm ok for any weekend after 5th/6th.. We'll wait to hear from the others. The winner so far seems to be 18th/19th.

you're right roshni, the objectives don't match.
