London [1]. It sounds awesome and also a lot of fun, and would give us something to focus
on in terms of our organization. We could pick Singapore related pages to clean up and
work on, or just work on our own articles or interests. This would be brilliant, as
we'd have definite goals, would keep people interested all day long, but also have
plenty of time to disengage and chat with each other.
This is a great idea! But are you planning on having a day-long event?
Interestingly, *three* of the people interested in coming for the party have *never*
edited Wikipedia at all, so maybe we can also have "How to edit your first
article" type discussions or lectures. Would anybody be interested in organizing
those?
A great idea once again. Perhaps you should find some presentations
on slideshare, or use this page as a base for a presentation:

Great work, Gaurav!
