BTW, for those who went to Israel (Wikimania 2011) and got any stamps
or visa labels from there, you probably need to be apprehensive about
going to Malaysia.

I agree with Tomo regarding visa policy. In addition to four countries
mentioned, I'd like to add

to the list as well.
As far as I know, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are probably the
best locations if you consider availability of low-cost airline
connections.

However, I have to admit that we don't have the capacity to organize
an international event on our own. We can only help you book a
reasonable accommodation and venue. What do you think of this?

I too, think it's a fabulous idea for us to get together in our cities.
As Kevin said, selecting a hosting city is one of the most important point
for successful convention.
My recommendation, in addition to Hong Kong, which was mentioned on
Facebook, is the following four countries, as they have generous visa policy
and direct flights from most Asian countries.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_South_Korean_citizens#Asia
- South Korea
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Philippines - Philippines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Thailand Thailand
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Malaysia - Malaysia
We also need to consider how well the local hosting group is organized. For
me, Hong Kong, Philippines, and South Korea seem to exceed among those in
this regard. Anyone from these countries who are willing to welcome Asian
Wikimedians?

Good idea. But we have to consider about the city, because unlike Europe,
Asian countries are separated.

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:
