Hi Srinivas ( & et all),
If the mail was intended to me alone ( as per
the salutation ), this below mail could have sent directly to me ( instead
of india wide alias).
To clarify your comments.
There was no "recorded" history of any kolkata meetup, till
then. That is why I took the liberty of calling the meetup as 1 (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Kolkata/Kolkata1 ) . I have
created the page & announced it ( with link) on the India alias too, very
long back. Nobody have informed me/ Shiju or the other organizers ( 2 of
them from Kolkata only) about it when we created the Kolkata meetup page. I
trust you also didn't know about it till then. Having said that, this wasn't
intended to take away any "credit" of someone...
When we thought of a Chennai meetup this year, I remembered the wikicamp ,
Chennai in 2007 and created a page for this Chennai1
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Chennai/Chennai1>(
just to record the historical data) and called the Nov 2010 meetup as
Chennai2 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Chennai/Chennai2> .
There may be even more meetups that actually happened between Chennai1 &
Chennai2. Bangalore 3rd meetup (held at my home and attended was by you also
) was called Meetup3 , as there were 2 pages for Bangalore and Bangalore2
already created. We are still not sure whether
Blore2<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore…
actually taken place, but still we created the new meetup page as
Bangalore3
If you still have objections on numberings, please move Kolkata1 to Kolkata2
and create a page for Kolkata1. Please get in touch with your friend to get
more details on that meetup. That will help us all in knowing more about
it.
Please understand these numberings are primarily for tracking purposes and
creation of pages.. What matters more is not the numbering or the naming,
but the efforts & purpose behind organizing such meetups .
Hope that explains it better.
Regards
Tinu Cherian

Dear Tinu,
from what I understand, an earlier Wikimeetup happened at Kolkata more than
a year ago in Joka. I was informed of this by a participant at that earlier
event who had expressed inability in attending the current meetup on the
relevant page. I met her at a conference in Bangalore recently and got to
know this. We may want to exercise caution in branding events as the first
meet-up etc., "meet-up" should suffice.
Regards,
Srinivas Gunta.

There were around 18+ attendees for the first Wikimeetup @Kolkata . I would
like to express my sincere thanks to Jayanata Nath, Indranil Das Gupta &
Shiju Alex for all the efforts in putting things together for a successful
meetup, at one of the ancient cities of India. Special thanks to Bishakha
Datta & Achal Prabhala for all the encouragement & support in our efforts.
One of us will be sending a detailed report on the meetup soon.
Regards
Tinu Cherian
