Dear All,
After very successful wiki meetup in many metropolitan city of India ( see below times of india report ) .The first wiki meetup at Kolkata on Saturday,11th December 2010 (2:30PM- 4:30PM) has planned.
[snipped]
I just saw your email on the ilug-calinfo mailing list. IIRC, I think Tinu had posted about the intended Kolkata meetup on wikimediaIndia-l about a couple of weeks back, but was too busy at that time to react.
I tried calling your phone number, but did not get a response. I can help out with the venue - there are 2 - 3 distinct options that I can possibly approach for giving the space free of charge, including the West Bengal State Central Library.
Do let me know if you would like me to take this forward.
You can contact me at this email or on my phone +91-98300-20971. In case, you are trying to reach me over phone and is unable to get me for any reason, please leave a message with my wife (CCed above) at +91-98745-80971 and I shall get back to you.
cheers -idg

But while placing news in newspaper, please give a mobile number or email address instead of the wiki link.

I have a Reliance datacard , so probably it should work , even if there is no wifi ( for demos). A projector may be a luxury, but if we get some conf room, with one, there is nothing better than it.
Really appreciate your efforts in setting up the Wikimeetup.

Dear Soma,
As you may know, I've been associated with wikipedia since this March. Need your help: please see the email below from Mr Nath, who edits in Bangla wikipedia (am cc-ing him on this email).
Do you know any NGOs who can offer space for this small meeting? Would Sanhita be able to offer one-time space for this? About 10 people,I think, will attend - but Mr Nath can give you more accurate information on this. (Also, on what is needed).
Would appreciate any help...also I will be in Kolkata for a whole month (20 Dec to 22 Jan, so we shall definitely meet...much to catch up on.)
Big hug, many thanks... Bishakha
