Greetings, Wikipedians!
There are only a few of us on this list, so we must make the best out of whatever capital we have here. The Tenth Anniversary of the Wikipedia project is fast approaching[0] and Gaurav Vaidya is helping support a small event to celebrate the occasion.[1] Is there a way we could make this happen in Singapore?
Terence, it would be great if you could personally talk to some of the Wikipedian volunteers to join this list and find out if they would be interested in attending this event.
Mohan, would you help Gaurav and Terence to find a venue and structure the event? It could be an informal barbeque party where Wikipedia enthusiasts gather around to celebrate the anniversary of our movement. Funds can be made available from the Wikimedia Foundation through the grants process.[2]
Andrew and Ren Yan, please join this list to keep abreast of volunteer activities in the city.
Preetam (on-list) told me about a bar-owner in SG making donations to the Wikimedia Foundation based on the number of drinks sold.
Guys, do let me know if I can assist in any way possible.
Yours sincerely,
Anirudh Bhati

If you're interested in attending, could you please fill in this form: http://tinyurl.com/wikipedia-10-singapore I'm trying to get a good estimate of the number of people interested - three people have e-mailed me regarding this, so there is *some* interest.

Probably the best option for 5-20 people would be Hackerspace.sg [1] - they're usually pretty good about supporting open source/open content groups. If there's fewer than five, we could just meet somewhere for coffee and cake and reminisce :). If we're doing it at Hackerspace, I think we should try getting it a bit more structured: there'll be other people around, and we'd want to attract people to the cause.

Woah! Which is that? Sounds awesome.
cheers, Gaurav
Hi all, i'd be interested to attend. As I am posted overseas at the moment, might not be able to help much in terms of organizing it.
Cheers, YK Tan
