Dear Ravi
Thank you for this report. Yes, it was great to meet up with you all. I have
briefly reported on the meeting to the Esperanto community on my blog
"Lingvo kaj vivo" at
http://www.ipernity.com/blog/giridhar
BTW, did the Times of India eventually have a report on the meetup? Is there
a link to it somewhere on the Net? (I wasn't able to find any when I last
looked.)
Warm regards to the community (from Pune, where I am located this week)

Hi,
On 15th May, we had the 4th Wikimedia meetup at Hyderabad as planned.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MHB4
Around 20 people attended. We had participants from Telugu Wikipedia, Tamil
Wikipedia, English Wikipedia and Esperanto Wikipedia and few new comers.
We had an open agenda with people sharing their motivation for contributing
to Wikipedia and best practices in their Wikipedias. One of the participants
promised to get us in touch with people from Digital South Asia Library
Project. We hope to follow up on this and see the possibilities for getting
their content in Wiktionary.
This was followed by an introduction on editing and campus ambassadors
program.
We plan to have regular meetups henceforth with fixed agenda.
Special thanks:
Hisham who flew down from Pune for this meetup.

facility.

Regards,
Ravi
