Dear Wikipedians from West Bengal,
Some simple steps to arrange a meetup:
- Take a decision about the date and time for the meetup. You can
select any weekend. 2. Choose a place where you will meet. You can peek a park or restaurant. 3. Announce the meetup at Wiki page, Facebook, blogs and mailing lists, where we can get some interested people. Provide a contact number so that people can find you at the meeting place. 4. Be attend at meetup. Don't think about the number of participants. 5. Share your wiki experiences with other participants. 6. Take some photos. Upload them at Commons and post them to Wiki page.
That's it.
So please raise your voice.

Some people suggested Dec18/19 would be a bad choice as the X;mas season starts & holidays begin. Dec 11/12 may be a better choice.

Hi Jayanta, Arnab et all, As you all know, Wikimeetups are regular get-together of wikipedians (contributors and users) to meet up, discuss, share experiences, reach out and advocate for Wikipedia and Wikimedia. After some successful meetups in many cities of India, we are planning to bootstrap the community meetups in W.Bengal too. Kolkata is the obvious choice to start with...
Let us begin with an informal meetup where the existing wikipedians & wiki enthusiasts to meet & know each other. Let us target for Dec 18 or 19 tentatively. We will explore possible meetup places with Wifi etc. Jayant was suggesting places like any university area Like Calcutta University Or Jadavpur University. There may be some Tech NGOs or startup companies who will be able to lend us a space.
I am starting this mail discussion with the contacts which I have... I have added Belayet from Dhakha , who may be able to find some more Bengali Wikipedians in India ... There may be other Non-Bengali WP Wikipedians in & around Kolkata... Please feel free to add anyone , whom you think may be interested.
Thoughts?
Regards Tinu Cherian
