Thank you for the sharing Bala. I was in MIT at 10 AM. Arunmozhi came 10.30 & we chose an end for our stall in that Hangar. :) Then using Arun's laptop (actually it has no monitor support. It was supported by bag ;) )
Somehow we arranged a demo laptop using mobile internet connection. :) I explained various Wikimedia projects & "how to edit?" talks & Reliability of WP & importance of Main page in a WP & works of an Admin. & Sign Up campaign. :) Then, I took some Wikipedia logo stickers & shirt badges with me. (Which I got from 10Wiki celebs.) People took them with them. :) Near 2 PM Bala joined with us. He took the stall very interestingly in his OWN STYLE. :) Finally our stall selected as best among 20. I was gifted a book on "PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE". It was a good experience. :) Tamil Wikipedia got a good editor from that stall. :) This is the real gift. :) Pictures will be shared soon. :) ILUGC is creating a separate report on the event. :) Thanks. *$U®¥∩* http://goo.gl/RoMyo.com <http://FirefoxSurya.blogspot.com> http://about.me/suryaceg 2011/9/22 Bala Jeyaraman <sodabot...@gmail.com> > unfortunately we dint bring any cameras.
