unfortunately we dint bring any cameras. But the ILUGC people had, i will ask for photos from them
My personal impression : (i was there for the last couple of hours) The stall was a couple of tables with a hand made banner. We didnt have any handout material as this was organised in very short notice. IMO The BIG advantage wikipedia stall had was the attitude - Surya treated every visitor as a potential wikipedia editor and gave them the full pitch and took them through various wiki projects within a short period of time.

hi,
Do you have any pics of the stall? It would be nice to see it. Might give others idea on how to do such a thing themselves?
warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas

Hi all,
The Chennai Linux user's group celebrated the Software Freedom Day (Sep 17) by organising free software demo stall exhibition at Madras Institute of Technology campus, Chennai. (http://wiki.ilugc.in/index.php?title=Sfd2011).
They gave space for a Wikipedia stall in that exhibition and S. A. Surya Prakash (http://tawp.in/r/1nmq) from Tamil Wikipedia ran the stall. He was assisted by open source enthusiast Arun Mozhi ( http://www.arunmozhi.in/). They introduced wikipedia and other wikiprojects to the exhibition visitors through out the day. The Wikipedia stall was adjudged the best amongst the 20 odd stalls in the exhibition and Surya was given a prize by ILUGC.
The Tamil report is at : http://tawp.in/r/2n3f
regards Bala
