Thanks for posting this here Bala. :-) Maybe we should print a few flyers with the Contest details, maybe even a QR Code about the contest and hand it over to whoever we see in public with a camera. ;-P On 12/15/11, Bala Jeyaraman wrote: > Per Srikanth's request: here is the report from Prasanna

Srikanth R, My previous discussion is about wiki academy for journalism students of Amrita institution in Coimbatore for Jan 2012. No such event happened in 2011. Getting regular meetups happen is a big challenge even in places like Bangalore. You can plan for once in two months or so to start wi

Heya, this just struck me. Arjuna mentioned to me that there was an Academy held in Coimbatore back in April 2011. Maybe, we could get guys from there to attend the next meetup, provided some experienced community member attends it. On 12/13/11, Srikanth Ramakrishnan wrote: > Thanks for the posit
