Hi John et al,

I'd be happy to attend a Bangkok meeting. It is probably 5-6 hours driving to Bangkok from where I'd be, and I believe I will have work at that time, so it would be best if it was on a weekend timed so that myself and others have a chance to get there.

There is a Wikimedia Thailand Facebook group that sees a fair bit of use. The discussion is generally in Thai, so I don't know what they are talking about for the most part. :) But it would be a good route to get some attendees.

I do have the option of a week's paid leave every year I am fairly sure. Consequently, if I'm able and can get funding I am probably going to attempt to go to Wiki Mania myself.

Siska and I are going to be in Bangkok before and after Wikimania.

User:JJ_Harrison is going to be in Thailand next year.

I think we could organise a meeting in Bangkok for local people who cant attend Wikimania.

It would be good to organise an event each year in an Asian country that doesnt have a chapter, where international attendees are helped by the locals but not like a conference where everything is taken care of - the international attendees take care of their own bookings etc. This will help those countries develop a core group who can start a chapter.

Hi guys,

There's talk right now on the Facebook group about a proposed Asian Wikimedia meeting, similar to the Central and Eastern Europe meeting held last year in Belgrade. ?What do you guys think?

For reference, information on the CEE meeting may be found here:?http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2012.
