FAQ:

1. Is this a new meetup group?
   Ans: Yes.
2. How is it different from other meetups?
   Ans: The other groups have been there for a while and are doing a great job. What I missed in some of them is the absence of hands-on sessions. This is a hands-on only meetup.
3. Why are you charging money?
   Ans: We are using a venue which provides seating, connectivity and refreshments for attendees at a small fee and the ticket you buy will just cover that cost. We are making no profit out of it. Also, if you are a student you get a free pass!
