FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: CherianTinu Abraham &lt;tinucherian(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 3:00 PM Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-in-blr] Bangalore Monthly wikipedia meetup - Announcing special talk To: "Mailing list for Wikimedians / Wikipedians in Bangalore, India" < wikimedia-in-blr(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Folks, I have uploaded the photos of Bangalore Wikimeetup 18 to commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bangalore_Meetup_Sep10 Possibly due to long weekend and 2 major festivals , the attendence of this meetup was relatively low. But the best part was that there were three first-timers , of the 7 people who attended.. I have decided to follow up and engage with new people who are coming to the meetup, from now on. I have asked them to also subscribe to our aliases. There were 3 presentations 1) "Wikimedia Israel / Hebrew Wikipedia and its activities " - Asaf Bartov (User:Ijon) The presentation was done remotely over skype video. Hebrew Wikipedia crossing 1 lakh articles with just 150-200 active contributors ( with still maintaining article quality & no blind bot created articles) is a good case study for the Indian languages to follow. Asaf shared their experiences with the various outreach activities undertaken by Wikimedia Israel. 2) "Project Management best practices for WikiProjects". - Arjunarao 3) "Wikimedia Chapters and other forms of affiliation" - Achal Prabhala Regards Tinu Cherian On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 10:31 AM, CherianTinu Abraham &lt;tinucherian(a)gmail.com > Gentle Reminder: This is tommorrow afternoon. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore18 > > Regards > Tinu Cherian > > > On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 11:49 AM, CherianTinu Abraham < > tinucherian(a)gmail.com> >> Special thanks to Arunram for arranging the remote speakers, each time. >> Good initative ! ..
