The rest of the discussion went on while Medhu started the work of portal.
It was decided that

• There will be monthly meetings instead of weekly meetings
• There will be weekly IRC sessions
• There will be sessions for the "DEVELOPERS-->INSTRUCTORS" for the coming few weeks on weekends
• There will be monthly sprints, that would be at the office or online that would bring some activity in the group
• Runup sessions at colleges would induce more developers from the student community into Drupal-Contributors
