Wow, Really good to see suggestions poring in. I have started compiling them @ http://diversityindia.blogspot.com/2009/09/wildflowerindia-indiantreepix-meet-2010.html to give us an consolidated view.
We need to start working on possible organisers for each of the locations now. Unless we have identified organiser, we can not organize a meet. So any suggestions, volunteers for each of the locations. If you have any questions about how to organise, please write on the group or to [email protected] And we are open to many more suggestions still, this is just a begining. So pore in your suggestions in the specified format.
