The locations planned to cover is city center (Palace, Town hall, etc)
We'll meet near Chikka Gadiyaara (Vasavi vircle) [near south gate of Devraja

Let us not make both mandatory as we'd like to see as many volunteers
participating as possible. However, if anyone who's good with speaking in
Kannada can take the lead, it'd be useful.
I can step in if no one else does. Ideally, it would be nice to see some new
volunteers taking the lead.
Copying this email to the Kannada Wikipedia Mailing list as well.

It would be good to meet sometime to discuss all this. I can be of help.
Ralph, would you be able to send me your phone number off the list?

in Basavanagudi to cover various landmarks like Shankara Mutta, Ramakrishna
Ashrama, Bull Temple, Krishnarao park etc. ( mentioned in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basavanagudi )
Here's the approximate route map:

Also, a note about the Wikipedia loves Bangalore #1:
We had an overwhelming response to the last edition with hundreds of photos
coming in. We're in the process of sorting out this huge number of photos to
upload the best ones to commons (as there are redundant ones of the same).
Volunteers are invited and are most welcome to take part in the selection
process as well. Please write back to me off-the-list for this.
