<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>from what I understand, an earlier Wikimeetup happened at Kolkata more than a year ago in Joka. I was informed of this by a participant at that earlier event who had expressed inability in attending the current meetup on the relevant page. I met her at a conference in Bangalore recently and got to know this. We may want to exercise caution in branding events as the first meet-up etc., "meet-up" should suffice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Srinivas Gunta.<BR></DIV>
