Folks,
I have uploaded the photos of Bangalore Wikimeetup 18 to commons
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bangalore_Meetup_Sep10
Possibly due to long weekend and 2 major festivals , the attendence of this meetup was relatively low. But the best part was that there were three first-timers , of the 7 people who attended.. I have decided to follow up and engage with new people who are coming to the meetup, from now on. I have asked them to also subscribe to our aliases.
There were 3 presentations
1) "Wikimedia Israel / Hebrew Wikipedia and its activities " - Asaf Bartov (User:Ijon)
The presentation was done remotely over skype video. Hebrew Wikipedia crossing 1 lakh articles with just 150-200 active contributors ( with still maintaining article quality & no blind bot created articles) is a good case study for the Indian languages to follow. Asaf shared their experiences with the various outreach activities undertaken by Wikimedia Israel.
2) "Project Management best practices for WikiProjects". - Arjunarao
3) "Wikimedia Chapters and other forms of affiliation" - Achal Prabhala
