Please do share my regards to Mayur for his great contribution to Tamil Wikipedia for such a long time. It would be great if you or any other Tamil Wikimedians attending this meetup can interview and ask him a few questions both in Tamil and English. That will be a very useful resource for anyone in the movement that are organizing outreach for new contributors.
