Thanks Tinu, Sankarshan, for images of Pune Meetup 3.

For those who attended, could we have a small brief (or even better a
blog post) about what transpired for those who missed the meet?

As of now, this is a problem. Meets dont get reported. People forget
that the written report of what transpired is absolutely necessary for
the community. A few uncaptioned photos or newspaper clippings are of
no use.

This is contrary to the Wikipedia spirit of free flow of information.
Inadequate reporting of a Wikipedia meetup is a contradiction of
sorts.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

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

Hi all,
    Wow! It was a hell of a day seeing and meeting people at Redhat's
office for wikipedia stuff.

Quite a bit to share but need couple of things. Fortunately or
unfortunately didn't have a camera so need photos to spice the post
up, a hashtag if there is already one or something please lemme know.

Whenever there are photos in the public domain of today's meet, one
can expect a post in few hours (barring sleep hours, of course) .
Unfortunately, unlike wikimedia not awake round-the-clock (citation :-
http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/dec/131210-Erik-Moller-Wikipedia-Pune.htm)
:)

I may also do couple of follow-ups as there were lots of things
swirling in my head but there were neither the time or the space to do
it.

Frankly, came to know for the first time there are other Idiots (pun
on 3 Idiots please) like me who enjoy making a difference.

So wiki on :)

Thanks, but still unfortunately I cannot blame one Kiruba for self
promotion using Wikimedia foundation just because none of the WMIN
signatories' activities are clear to others (or atleast to me, may be my
wrong). You may know that there is a website for Wikimedia India chapter
(http://wikimedia.in/), so if possible, copy those pages to there (most
of the Indian wikimedians are not active in meta). Please add brief
notes about purpose, current activities (I saw some researchers,
consultants, etc) and future blueprints also in the website.

hi,

Thanks for the write-up. Why are these meetings happening in classrooms? The
Mumbai one also happened in a lecture hall complete with green board and
chalks! There was even a rickety unbalanced table up front that the speakers
unconsciously wanted to lean against!

I see that Pune has at least advanced to white boards and pens in the class
room selected. :)

warm regards,
Pradeep
