You may already be aware of today's Wikipedia meetup at Bangalore from the posts on this list.

It is has been our ongoing endeavor to use the meetups to connect and share experiences of wikipedians. In one of our earlier meetups we had tamil wikipedians presenting at our meetup remotely. That attempt worked out pretty well and it threw open newer ideas.

Today we will be taking that even further. We are going to be having Liam Wyatt (Witty Lama for many) - active wikipedian from Sydney present at our meetup. This talk has also been listed at the meetup page.

For a list of our previous meeups, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore
