Again, due to the lack of WiFi, no live tweets. All the updates about the event was thanks to the dilegent efforts of @maravind on his mobile.

The Attendees

Photos

Why do we keep forgetting to take a group photo? So no image with linked faces(less work for me ;-) ). Anyway, we got some non-group-photos.

Oberon Mall as a Tweetup Venue

Its quite a nice place – I liked it.

Advantages

  • Super close to my home. I know it is not an advantage for others – but I’m making the list.
  • Spacious – We got a table easily even at Sunday 4 PM
  • Big tables – could accommodate us even if we grow in number.
  • More choice in eatables.
  • Scenic location – in more ways than one.

Disadvantages

  • No WiFi. Well, technically, they have WiFi – but they don’t provide internet – its for their local networking
  • A bit noisy at rush hours
  • Not much privacy(again, at rush hours)
  • Not accessible by bus.
  • People tend to get distracted a lot more. I guess it has something to do with the ‘scenic-ness’ of this place.

All in all, its a decent place to hold tweetups. I still prefer Take One cafe – but this Food Court gets the second place. Please share you opinions on the topic.
