Dear Friends, On 9th February 2017, Wikipedians in Bhubaneswar celebrated the first anniversary of Bhubaneswar WikiTungi.

WikiTungi [1] is a city based Wikipedia community formed to help the Wikipedians in the city to meet, share and learn. The Odia community's WikiTungi is a based in two cities, Puri and Bhubaneswar. While Wikimedians in Puri conduct meetups bi-monthly, Bhubaneswar Wikimedians meet once a month. In every meetup, Wikimedians exchange their resources with each other, helping address their doubts and queries regarding their problems and projects.

During the first anniversary meeting of the Bhubaneswar WikiTungi, The community members came up with few ideas to implement it as a best practice in the Wikipedia movement.

*The Tungi members will invite one of the global community leaders for a Skype or hangout session. * Discuss the best practice from the global community and discuss them with the community. *Updating the minutes of the meeting and sharing them with the other community members. *Updating the learning and evaluation team about the new learning of the community every month. *The community will also send Postcards as a souvenir to the participants of the global community for the online sessions.

We invite you to join us for the hangout sessions and share your best practice with the Tungi members[2]. Please feel free to suggest us more ideas.
