It was very nice to meet so many freethinkers, especially in real life 
We met at a Cafe Coffee Day in Koramangala. There was just about enough space for the 15-20 people who turned up. Among other things we all agreed that it was a great idea to meet up as a freethinkers group, once a month. Subba Rao has generously provided us with access to a much bigger venue at Ashok Shishu Vihar. PankajKulkarni is co-ordinating the meets, and he will be posting details about the venue soon.
In the meanwhile Prof Nayak has proposed a two-day workshop for scientific temper for software professionals to be held on Dec 25-26. This is still under discussion, especially about the dates. Please visit Prof Nayak's FB page to see the proposal (this requires logging in to FB, and in any case, someone will post it in these forums too).
Here are some images (linked directly from fb, so I hope they work) from the meeting (courtesy Narendra Nayak).
