hi,
Pranav, Kundan and I have been having a hard time trying to find a venue for the monthly meetups that happen on the 3rd Saturday of every month. We want help in (suitably) getting an educational institution that can offer their place as venue for these meetups. We would also like to change the venues for the meetings.
Also suggest that a few meetings be also held in open air situations - beach, national park, zoo etc. I understand that these are unconventional meeting points but it can also help us to take pictures and improve articles of these places on Wikipedia. It also gives us a change from malls and offices which we have to bear with anyway :).
I brought this up very early so that we do not have to rush from pillar to post to get a venue in the last minute.
warm regards, Pradeep
Pradeep:
This should not be a problem next time or in future.
I can organise venues near VT, in Byculla, Juhu, and Mankhurd-Chembur next time, depending on where we prefer to hold the next meetup.
Let me know so I can get in touch with the colleges/NGOs I know in these places, my number is 98200.45529.
Nice to finally meet all of you today!
Best,
Shekhar

Could not make it yesterday. will try to come for the next meet.
regarding the venue: People find it a little off the main routes, otherwise gnowledge lab of HBCSE will always be willing to host any day of the year for wikimedia. We can also get it organized in TISS, Devnar. Try also at SNDT churchgate campus. it is easy to reach from all places.
