Dear Tinu and Shiju, Thanks you both for images of Kolkata Meetup 3. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Kolkata_Meetup_Dec2010 Warm regards, Jayanta Nath On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 7:03 PM, CherianTinu Abraham < tinucherian(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- *Jayanta Nath*

Nice article ... conveys the points quite well. Thanks a lot to Suruchi Gupta. @Jayanta, has there been any coverage in the Bengali news media? We can get many new contributors if someone can write an article in Bengali and publish in the Bengali news papers. We had a lot of success in that way in Bangladesh.

Hi Srinivas ( & et all), If the mail was intended to me alone ( as per the salutation ), this below mail could have sent directly to me ( instead of india wide alias). To clarify your comments. There was no "recorded" history of any kolkata meetup, till then. That is why I took the liberty of calling the meetup as 1 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Kolkata/Kolkata1 ) . I have created the page & announced it ( with link) on the India alias too, very long back. Nobody have informed me/ Shiju or the other organizers ( 2 of them from Kolkata only) about it when we created the Kolkata meetup page. I trust you also didn't know about it till then. Having said that, this wasn't intended to take away any "credit" of someone... When we thought of a Chennai meetup this year, I remembered the wikicamp , Chennai in 2007 and created a page for this Chennai1 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Chennai/Chennai1>( just to record the historical data) and called the Nov 2010 meetup as Chennai2 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Chennai/Chennai2> . There may be even more meetups that actually happened between Chennai1 & Chennai2. Bangalore 3rd meetup (held at my home and attended was by you also ) was called Meetup3 , as there were 2 pages for Bangalore and Bangalore2 already created. We are still not sure whether Blore2<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore… actually taken place, but still we created the new meetup page as Bangalore3 If you still have objections on numberings, please move Kolkata1 to Kolkata2 and create a page for Kolkata1. Please get in touch with your friend to get more details on that meetup. That will help us all in knowing more about it. Please understand these numberings are primarily for tracking purposes and creation of pages.. What matters more is not the numbering or the naming, but the efforts & purpose behind organizing such meetups . Hope that explains it better.

Hi Tinu, From my reading of Srinivas' email, it looks like he meant it as a simple word of caution and as a way of sharing (with the group) a piece of information that he came across recently. Knowing your efforts, he wouldn't have meant anything else, I suppose. So, let's all AGF on this. :) - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture *From:* CherianTinu Abraham &lt;tinucherian(a)gmail.com&gt; *To:* wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org *Sent:* Sun, December 19, 2010 5:41:32 PM *Subject:* Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia Wikimeetup1 @ Kolkata, Dec 2010 Photos Hi Srinivas ( & et all), If the mail was intended to me alone ( as per the salutation ), this below mail could have sent directly to me ( instead of india wide alias).
