It was attended by ~70 people including English,Tamil and Malayalam Wikipedians. The event started with a cake cutting ceremony. Ravichandar spoke about English wikipedia. Mahir spoke about Tamil Wikipedia,Wikinews and Wiktionary. A book "Tamil Wikipedia"(in Tamil) written by Tamil wikipedian and writer Theni.M.Subramani was released by Badri Sheshadri(Publisher,New Horizon Media). Badri then spoke about Wikipedia,importance of language wikipedia and how books like the one released is essential in reaching out to masses. There were discussions and then there was a live chat with Jimmy wales over Skype. I would like to thank CSMIT for providing the venue, Wikimedia Foundation for the merchandise and Manian for the cake. I would also like to thank Manian / Ravishankar (Parithimathi) / Mahir / Ravichandar for making this event happen. I would get all the pictures into one place in commons and post the same.
