Dear All,
We have had the Wikipedia Day celebrations today evening at the Computer Society of India in Kolkata. It was a modest gathering of eleven people. I guess some of us could not attend solely because it was a weekday. But then we had a mixed crowd of old and new faces that lent the event a touch of liveliness.
We celebrated by cutting the cake and shared the developments in the community. Biswarup da had recently uploaded his 10,000th picture in the Commons, and we had a big round of applause for him. We had one new face Ankita, who shared her contributions in the Wikibooks. Shubhashish joined the celebrations from Delhi, first on phone and finally on Google hangout.
We also had a bit of planning on our follow up activities. We would be happy to share them with you some time very soon.
Thanks to all who made this event successful in spite of all odds.
Thanks and regards, Kalyan Sarkar

All,
We are planning to hold the W12 Kolkata on 15 Jan 2013 (Tuesday) from 6 PM at CSI Kolkata. Please let us know of your availability and concerns
if
any.
Initially we had planned to hold the event on 13 Jan 2013 (Saturday), because it would have been convenient for many of us to attend the
event on
weekend. However, we had some issues with the venue, so after discussion between Jayanta da and myself, we thought it would be better to hold the event on the day itself.
Thanks and regards, Kalyan Sarkar
