If you're interested in attending, could you please fill in this form: http://tinyurl.com/wikipedia-10-singapore
I'm trying to get a good estimate of the number of people interested - three people have e-mailed me regarding this, so there is *some* interest.

Probably the best option for 5-20 people would be Hackerspace.sg [1] - they're usually pretty good about supporting open source/open content groups. If there's fewer than five, we could just meet somewhere for coffee and cake and reminisce :). If we're doing it at Hackerspace, I think we should try getting it a bit more structured: there'll be other people around, and we'd want to attract people to the cause.
