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 On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 11:05 AM, Surjya Kumar Das < surjyakumardas(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > > On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 9:40 AM, Biswarup Ganguly < > gangulybiswarup(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > >> Agreed.
