Anyways, as far as i can see, as a part of the plan, we will need to chalk out the following for Hyderabad:</div>
<div> </div><div>a) Have an overall framework ready - i am sure that would already be in place, from wikimedians in other cities. We might just need to tweak it to suit Hyderabad</div></div></div></div></blockquote></div>
</td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><div>Famework?? I was part of organising team for Wiki Takes Mumbai II, hence I can share how we worked for our city, and hope it will also work in your city.</div><div>

<div><div><div><div>
</div><div>b) Started spreading the word around. Was thinking we can involve people who are couchsuring in Hyderabad to be a part of this. This will really help increase the contributions since we do have a decent number of travellers touring Hyderabad in this part of the year<br>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><div>You can start involving your friends. I suggest, Facebook is the best way of word of mouth, and hence create a Facebook group for Hyderabad Wikipedians, you'll get members count because of the work Wikipedia.</div>

<div><div><div><div>
</div><div>c) It will be great if there was a press release kind of a thing done for the entire event as such from somewhere with atleast a mention of the participating cities. Or, if it is fine, we can provide information to the local editions/newsmen. However, for this, we will need the help and participation of the official members of wikimedia (read, Karthik :-) )<br>

<div><div><div><div>
</div><div>d) We can start the event/contest off by having a small briefing session during the first weekend of September. And if we are confident of having a good turnout (or may be even otherwise), we can probably look at conducting this at Lamakaan</div>
</div></div></div></blockquote></div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><div>It will be great if you have a meetup this August end, but early September will also do. I'll try to attend if time permits :) My college schedule must help tho, but would be excited to meet.</div>

<div><div><div>
<div> </div><div>e) May be on the first and second weekends, we can organise - "Wiki takes Hyderabad", and on the last weekend, again get together for any queries that people have.
