Hey Pradeep,
I am not an active Wikimedian but I would definitely like to have attended
this meet. Just a request that if any such event is planned then please
bring this to our notice atleast a week before, and this will also increase
the attendance in that event.
Thanks and Regards,
Dhawal Bhatt

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,
