[Sudhanwa Jogalekar]

Hi,

I will be travelling to Madurai, Erode from 1-4 Dec. and would like to
meet wikipedians there.

I am expected to have some free time in the evenings in Madurai on
1st. and on the other days in Erode.

If anyone is interested, please send me a mail offlist so that we can
exchange our contacts and decide timings/venues.

Best regards
-Sudhanwa
