Thank you Tito,
Has this been communicated to the Gujarati community? The Gujarati
mailing list, which you subscribe as well, had a last communication which
informed that the event was cancelled.
I haven't seen any communication informing the mailing list that it has
been reinstated.
Regards,
Dhaval Vyas

Hello,
The meetup and workshop will take place on 23-24 February 2019 at
Ahmedabad
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_Wikisource_Workshop,_Ahmedabad
After the Indian Wikisource Consultation Gujarati Wikisource community
members are interested in this workshop. I believe this workshop and the
meetup will be helpful for them. We'll make sure to follow-up this event
with future plan(s).
Thanks
Tito Dutta
