Hiya,

As you may be aware, at Mumbai IX, the community discussed an idea that was floated some time ago on this mailing list - to hold an Indian National WikiConference in Mumbai around November 2011. We invited Pune to co-host the event - they have been positive and will discuss the issue during their meet-up on 14 May 2011. The India Chapter Committee have been informed as well, they too seemed positive and will be sending a representative to the meeting in Pune. Kundan and myself will be representing the Mumbai Community at that meet which will also be attended by Bishakha (Foundation Trustee) and Hisham (Consultant, Wikimedia India Programs).

As a follow up of the above mentioned event, Mumbai X will be held at the offices of Pinstorm (Santacruz) on 21 May 2011 (Saturday). We humbly request everyone from the Mumbai Community to attend this important meetup as we hope to kick-start the organisation of the above event on this day. Those attending kindly sign up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Mumbai/Mumbai10

Looking forward to seeing a massive turnout at the meetups and hope this sparks local interest in offline Wikipedia activities.

Kind Regards,
