Kudos to all behind this. I would call this mini conference, Sodabottle
travelled from land of Cheras, Essar from land of Pandyas for this
meetup/<whatever>. Also more awareness/outreach/meetups is required in
tier-2 cities / towns and community(especially Indic will gain a lot from
it).

Please scroll down, mail isnt complete.

This is why one needs ShortURL. Will this bug bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1450 ever
get some attention that its due? Note:- Tamil Wiki generally uses
tawp.inshortened URLs, there is an open bug in it, I thought we will
wait for the
official extension rather than spending time to fix it. I think its safe to
assume that ShortURL will not see end of tunnel atleast for few more
months, So I would look around fixing it. There seems no point in waiting
for deployment. I am disappointed.
