[Wikimediaindia-l] 36th Bangalore Wiki Meetup Summary- 14 August 201

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

hi,

I am new to the community.. I had been an avid wiki user since my school
days. I am now working and still continue to use Wiki extensively as a part
of my professional practice.

I was wondering, if I will be able to participate in meetings and express my
views and ideas.

Thanks,
Adethya
