Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-asia-chapters] Asian Chapters Meeting 2011

Why don't you create a page on meta, under the Wikimedia Asia Project?
It is hard for me to follow such a long essay.

Btw, I got something from cyberport, they can only sponsor us maximum $10,000 euros for the venue, catering and accommodation in cyberport. So I think we might leave the chance to the wikimania 2012 or chapters meeting 2011.

Cheers,
Morgan
