Hello All,<div><br></div><div>As an offshoot of the other email thread, I recommend we start the ball rolling by having a common meeting. Relying on Wikimania and other conferences may not be good enough.</div><div><br></div>
<div>So lets start this discussion.</div><div><br></div><div>Who (Chapters) will participate? You can bring as much participants as you want in a room per chapter.</div><div>When is the most common date and time?  Saturday maybe a good choice and afternoon of UTC+8 is common amongst us. Date can be discussed further .</div>
<div>What mode of live communication (no physical meeting)? Phone? Phone+Web? Skype? WebEx? TextChat like <a href="http://chatroll.com">chatroll.com</a>?</div><div>What set of topics to discuss ?</div><div>  Since its the first wide &quot;getting to know you&quot; conference we will setup, as much as possible we should discuss our chapter&#39;s strengths, challenges, projects in the pipeline as well as common projects we can cooperate like say Wikidata Infobox, Professionalization, etc. Lets minimize or no politics.</div>
<div>How long?</div><div>Where ? In our own common areas like a rented conference room or classroom or possibly a garage.</div><div><br></div><div>-- </div><div>Roman &quot;Butch&quot; Bustria Jr.
