offline and online growth in India has been initiated and propelled by the
wikipedian community.

Until September 2010, regular meetups were held only in Bangalore and an
annual Malayalam meetup was held in Kerala. Now meetups are regularly held
also in Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata - and meetups have begun in Chennai,
Hyderabad, Orissa and other places. Similarly, wiki workshops and academies
are being held in different locations around the country - and other
activities are being planned. All these are community-led events.

A chapter is a formal legal entity - please see the press kit at
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Press_kit for more information about the community,
the chapter and the Foundation in India.

Given your interest in stimulating activities in north India, I would urge
you and other community members equally interested to meet up as a first
step.

It would be fantastic if this conversation could help stimulate interested
wikipedians in Delhi and north India to meet up and plan further. Good luck
and I hope it happens!
