The turn-up had a healthy mix of bloggers, Wikipedians, supporters and press representatives. There were almost the same number of women present as men, almost everyone was generally interested in Wikipedia.
We discussed Wikipedia policy and structures, some political issues and the foundation's plan for India. There was a genuine interest in some supporters in joining and contributing to the Wikimedia movement, someone suggested an informal workshop to teach interested users on how to edit Wikipedia. Barry fielded a barrage of questions from press members and other attendants alike, there was curiosity on every level.
The first meet served as an introductory get-together, something we hope to build on in future.
Also, pictures are already available on twitter through #WPMDH1 hashtag. More would be uploaded on the commons in the coming days.
