Hi folks,
As many of you already know , we are celebrating the Wikipedia
10th anniversary event @ Bangalore. More details can be found here :
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore
With less than 3 weeks to go, we haven't even decided the exact date, venue
& the guest speaker and it is high time we all put our efforts into full
throttle !
I know Srikanth L ( logicwiki) / Manish ( SBC-YPR) is leading the effort,
but we require large number of volunteer contributions to this effort. A
larger participation & leadership from the chapter folks is humbly
requested, without which we cannot take it forward.
Folks who are definitely attending/volunteering , kindly signup as early as
possible.
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore#Volunteers ( *URGENT*)
It is also time to divide the tasks among us . Please "Be Bold" and
volunteer :)
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bangalore#Volunteers.2FTasks_for_each_ac…
*URGENT*)
We also have to finalise whether we want a morning-evening event or only
afternoon-evening event...If we are planning for a morning-evening event, we
need to arrange the lunch for the attendees ( either paid or free) . Without
arranging lunch ( whether paid /free) , there will be chaos / confusions
/delays for an all day event ( prior experience from Chennai wikimeetup
event). We need to have some insights on how to meet the operational
expenses for the day.
It will be great if we have a clear picture of the plans like atleast
venue/speaker/lunch/expenses atleast before new year.
Requesting help & co-operation from all.
Regards
Tinu Cherian

Hi,
Bangalore Wikipedia/Wikimedia Wikimeetups are run and organised by
volunteers/wikipedians.
If you are free, motivated and interested, you are highly encouraged to help
organise the next Wikimeetups. We usually meet on every second sunday of
every month.
This is a To do list/step by step guide on setting up & organising the
regular Wikimeetups in Bangalore.

Feel free to add anything that I have possibly missed.
