Prof. Nagarjuna G (gnwledge Lab HBCSE TIRF) and Rekha currently at DBF work with the student volunteers at VJTI on the OLPC deployments/ Sugar Learning Platform as well as GIS mapping projects in Khalapur.....and they should be able to get across the message to the group so we have larger numbers than the usual wiki MeetUps. Will mark this to Rekha as she is in touch with the VJTI faculty and should be able to get a confirmation not just of venue but also of student participation. Will call her too and get back as she is on vacation for a couple of days. Harriet Vidyasagar I am in Mangalore but hope to be in Mumbai for the 15th Jan.

Hello All I will be attending the Mumbai Wikipedia X meetup as well. I was earlier planning to attend the Pune meetup but I just finalised plans which would find me in Mumbai on the 15th of January For those who aren't familiar with me; I'm Srikeit studying at Symbiosis, Pune. I'm an admin on the English Wikipedia and a member of OTRS. I will be willing to help out with any content that require oversight by a Wikimedian. I can also make a short presentation or talk if required. I request the main organizers to contact me if they need any help.

(optional). 4) Photos of historic monuments of Mumbai can be uploaded to the Wikipedia commons. Let's make the event as simple as possible and for a duration of 2-3 hours.

The room also has options for a projector and connectivity also is available. The timings suggested by VJTI is 10.00 AM to 2.00 PM and they are ok even if we extend the event by another week. (22nd).

hi, Ankit just told me that it's DEP-1. Supposed to have a full single seated capacity of 100 people. We're planning to keep seating to the minimum. Pradeep On 3 January 2011 21:38, Aditya Sengupta &lt;apsengupta(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
