Mr Nath, we can announce this in our Timeout section, which takes up the
whole of t2 second page...it has a high visibility. You need to let me know
the venue and the exact time for that.
Would you mind if I come over at the event?

If we advertise in local Bengali News papers (along with the English
newspapers) we can surely expect a bigger crowd. I assume at least 40-50
people will turn up.

But while placing news in newspaper, please give a mobile number or email
address instead of the wiki link.

TC/Mr Nath - Soma says they can fit a max of 18 people + couple of their own
people; they have a projector. (She seems keen to host...)

Let me know what numbers you anticipate; she also offered to help hire a
bigger space if needed.

Hi Jayanth/ Bishakha,
Expect a bigger crowd that 10.... The first Wikimeetup would attact lots of
enthusasists. Hyd 25+ and Chennai 45+ , not the forget the ones at Mumbai &
delhi.

I have a Reliance datacard , so probably it should work , even if there is
no wifi ( for demos). A projector may be a luxury, but if we get some conf
room, with one, there is nothing better than it.

Really appreciate your efforts in setting up the Wikimeetup.

Tinu Cherian
