We had hoped to have a good attendance for the Wikipedia meetup. However, only five Puneri Wikipedians User:AshLin, Sudhanwa, Mandar Kulkarni, User:Rangilo Gujarati and User:Nikhilsheth met for the meetup. Since there were few people, we waited for almost 45 minutes during which a master class was conducted on finer points of Wikipedia markup, techniques and issues facing newbies. <br>
<br>This was followed by discussions on planned activities. The following were discussed :<br>* There is an urgent need for outreach, no matter how fruitless results may seem in the short term, both for editors in English and Marathi wikipedias.<br>
* The planned activities approach should be replaced by the "How can Wikipedia help you - how can you help Wikipedia" approach.<br>* It was felt that only one event be planned to be undertaken in different directions. However, if more was achieved in that field - great. Example - only one GLAM was to be approached this year, but if opportunity, or more important volunteer effort was forthcoming, do more.<br>
* Work on Wikipedia for Schools Offline Edition should continue despite recent criticism however the concerns of the community need to be taken note of.<br>* The monthly meetup must continue, so that a hard core of Wikipedians is built up and activities discussed here even if the actual work was done by people in between in their individual capacities and individual interests.<div>
