hi,

We had our twenty fifth meetup of the Mumbai Wikipedia community today at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. The venue was the place where we had our first meetup in September 2010 and hence was a nostalgic venue. 

We had an attendance of 5 community members. We know that it was short notice but wish that more people had turned up. Our expenses for the meetup (coffee and pastries) were covered for by CIS-A2K. We are thankful to them for the same.

We reminisced our journey from the first meetup, through Wikipedia 10 celebrations, the WikiConference India 2011, the Wiki Women Workshop in November 2012 and acknowledged the role some of our members played in several national efforts like GenderGap, Wiki Loves Monuments, opening up the textbooks under an open license etc. We discussed some of the challenges we are facing in the movement in India today. We had lots of fun! I hope the pics will be uploaded onto the appropriate Commons category soon. We briefly considered programmes we'd like to take up in 2014 as a community. 

Whilst we celebrate our 25th meetup, we'd like to reach out to all community members in Mumbai in thanking them for being part of an awesome community that has contributed so much towards growing the Wikimedia movement in India in their own ways. We hope you continue doing the same!

warm regards,
