Now planning a QBR within our group is easier said than done, reason? As is with every social network, some members simply disappear, choose not to vote or speak, get bogged down with personal or professional reasons and so on....despite this some members keep the spirit alive and meet more often than others. Ours has been a similar predicament.
Anyways, for the SJ-QBR we reached out to every one via our group network on Yahoo and started a POLL first to fix up a date and wether you believe it or not, we started this activity in Jan for a possible QBR in March 2008, thats the kind of foresight you need to plan this out so every member can make it and even then it wont be known until the last day ;)
Well, we proposed the dates as Mar 7, 8 and 9. We got a confirmation from 9 of them, 8 in our favor. Count of 8 (out of a possible 13) by now is considered as a "premium quoroum" to go ahead with the trip and so we settled down on the dates. By the way, we usually choose a date thats a Fri evening, one full day thats Sat and then come back home Sun afternoon-evening.
Next in line was the Venue, the choices were between Kashid Beach, Murud Janjira and Elvis's bunglow in Lonavala. The POLL is in progress but the winner is clearly turning out to be Elvis' s place and part of the reason why besides that being a emotional choice is the other two venues will require some back-breaking driving on pathetically maintained roads and common sense thus prevails
I guess now the only thing that remains to be planned is, who is going to pick who while heading to the Venue, most of us own a car and that should not be a problem. Looking forward to the ride on Mumbai-Expressway. Vrrrrooom.
