Dear Wikipedians outside India,
I'm writing this specifically to reach out to NRIs / PIOs / Indic language wikipedians outside India who might be on this mailing list.
It would be a great idea if we could encourage meet-ups and maybe even outreach sessions in the many cities where we have existing Indian wikipedians. We currently don't have a comprehensive list and I'm sharing this that was started a few months ago and a request to update it http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians
It will help you folks to know about other Wikipedians in your cities and you can form Wiki-communities. We find this problem so much in India where sometimes Wikipedians live on the same street but don't know each other. I can imagine that it will be very similar abroad also.
Many thanks
Tinu Cherian

Hey Tinu, I've notified a few NRI Wikipedians I know about this.
