Hi
There are few announcements from Hyderabad.
1. We are planning for a Wikipedia Academy, open to all on Dec 23, 2011
Details can be had from here :
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wiki_Academy/OUCIP,_Hyderabad
This will emphasize on contribution to English Wikipedia
and also encourage other institutions around Andhra Pradesh to take
up Wikipedia academies at their places.
2. Also we have book fairs at
Hyderabad<http://hyderabadbookfair.com/?p=504>(from December 1 to 11)
and at Vijayawada (from January 1 to 11).
At Hyderabad book fair <http://hyderabadbookfair.com/?p=504>, etelugu stall
can be availed to promote Telugu Wikipedia. I request the volunteers who
are interested to join.
And also, we can call for a small session over stage at Vijayawada book
fair, if not a full fledged stall.
The main focus at both these places is to encourage people to contribute
to Wikipedia
as well as other potential projects such as Wikisource, Wiktionary, etc
that may help Telugu language gain its erstwhile glory.
3. I request members to come up with a proposal/suggestion for a permanent
venue and day of month for our monthly meet-ups.

Hello there,
First announcement is that, we have Wikipedia meetup on 27th Nov, 2011 from
3pm to 5pm. Tentative venue is Lamakaan.
Next, we are trying hard to fix a permanent venue where we can organise our
monthly meetups, I request all the members of the list to come out with
their suggestions. Availability of Lamakaan has been difficult over the
last few months because of other events taking place there that makes the
facilitators at Lamakaan unable to provide room for us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Hyderabad/Hyderabad3 is the
event page at wikipedia.
Yours,
Rahimanuddin Shaik
