<br><br>Folks,<br>I have uploaded the photos of Bangalore Wikimeetup 18 to commons <br><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bangalore_Meetup_Sep10" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bangalore_Meetup_Sep10</a> <br>

<br>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. <br>

<br>There were 3 presentations<br>1) &quot;Wikimedia Israel / Hebrew Wikipedia and its activities &quot; -  Asaf Bartov (User:Ijon)<br>    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 &amp; 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. <br>

2) &quot;Project Management best practices for WikiProjects&quot;. - Arjunarao<br>3) &quot;Wikimedia Chapters and other forms of affiliation&quot; - Achal Prabhala<br><br>Regards<br>Tinu Cherian<div><div></div><div class="h5">
