Hi all
The first Wikipedia Delhi Meet was organized yesterday, despite a constant
downpour and some Venue issues 14 Delhi-hites braved the monsoon to reach
the meetup. We had to shift the venue to another location across the
street because of some scheduling issues at the last minute. We
only received half the people we were expecting from the meetup page due to
the heaviest monsoon rains in Delhi in over a hundred years, that along with
traffic and water lodging because of the constant rains for over a month
were real obstacles.
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.
Regards
Salmaan
