Hi all,
this is in reference to an upcoming meetup in Mumbai, which is yet to be
announced.
Applause's to Nikita Belavate, who wanted the forthcoming meetup to be much
more productive one. She wanted to do an editing session, to motivate and
explain other non-editing volunteers to edit Wikipedia articles. We have
few volunteers who haven't yet involved themselves in editing ever, whereas
we believe that the promary and best way of contributing to Wikipedia is by
editing and helping the article grow both in quantity and quality. I'm sure
its been much gap, since an editing session in Mumbai, and the plan sounded
great. +n for it! :)
However, we do always face venue problem, and yeah an editing session will
involve a couple of internet connected computers. Will be great if anyone
knows any place in Mumbai, where we can use their systems probably for *two
hours* for the meetup. Just an attempt to enhance the Mumbai community in
absence of some senior volunteers. *Do please let us know*!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Karthik,
Its indeed a great Idea. @Nikita - Kudos for bringing this up.
Following are few Coffee houses with free Wi-Fi availability while some of
us can get our laptops/Tablets for the live demos.
- Generally any Cafe Coffee Day Outlet - Bhandup, Ghatkopar, Nirmal
Lifestyles - Mulund, Hiranandani Gardens, Sion west,
- Bru world Cafe, Andheri and Bandra
Hope, this would be helpful. Also, I can volunteer to bring one laptop from
my side. :)

Hi,
hope all fine :)
This is to inform you about Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) 2012, a global
public photo contest around monuments, organized by Wikimedia chapters and
groups. WLM was first organised in Netherlands in 2010, while
18 European countries participated in 2011. In total, more than
*165,000* pictures
of European monuments were uploaded in 2011.
Happy to inform you that, this year, Indian community is confirmed to
participate in the international
contest<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012>.
Photo contests and events have been organised in India till 2011, however
in different cities at different period of time. In an attempt to organise
the contest nationally, we will need some dedicated volunteers who can
assist us in following ways:
- Helping to prepare the list of monuments
- Coordinating in your own city
- Online support, especially from Wikimedia Commons users while pre,
during and post the contest for categorization, OTRS team, and many more
stuff's
Anyone interested are welcome to sign-up at the volunteers section! [1] Do
use Commons event talk page for discussion.
