Post-meetup summary/ Blog posts/ News

Hello everyone. As scheduled, we met today in Mumbai. Only two of us could make it today (AKS.9955 & KartikMistry). Kartik's team is developing a translation tool (You have to enable it from Beta Preferences first!) to help migrate content from English to Wikipedia in other languages. It is very interesting work.

We also discussed about the future meet-ups in Mumbai and hopefully will plan a meet in Jan / Feb 2016 again. We are hopeful for a larger participation in the future. Will look forward to meet Yash!, Human3015, Jinesh A. Kamdar, Rsrikanth05, Yogesh Khandke, §§Dharmadhyaksha§§, Nrgullapalli, Abhishek Pujari, Apoorvaphale, Bishdatta, Digamber Tawde, Sanket Shah and many others. Come on folks, this is a city of 20 million people - cant we get 20 people to participate? Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 12:53, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Heya Arun, Glad to know that atleast the two of you were able to meet. I remember the monthly meetups we had in Bangalore back in 2009-10 and my failed attempts to replicate the same in Coimbatore in 2011-12. I would have been there but change of plans ensured that instead of spending these two months in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, I'm in the National Capital Region till the year end. Will definitely do my best to attend a meetup in the months of January-February, so long as my exams don't clash with it. See you all around, Cheerios. :) --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:00, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I was out of town and couldn't make it as I had to extend my stay for 8 more days. Looking forward towards meeting you guys in the following months. Abhishek Pujari (talk) 20:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey Mumbai Wiki'ans, apologies for not being able to make it to the Nov-2015 event; I had to travel out of town for some work purpose. When is the next meetup scheduled in 2016? I don't want to miss it this time, so it's better if we can plan in advance. Jinesh A. Kamdar (talk) 07:36, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
