Minutes of meeting

 * The meetup was originally planned to be held alongside the Anime-Con 2022 at the main concourse of the mall. But due to the ongoing cosplay competition at that time, we had to find a more quite place to hold the meetup, thus we moved to a restaurant at the upper floor.
 * General update for the financial matter of Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia.
 * The possible creation of Wikimedia mascots (including Wikipe-tan) from the Malaysian cosplayers.
 * The possibility for Malaysia to host any future Wikimedia conferences (e.g. Wikimania, ESEAP etc).
 * The difficulties in doing outreach of Wikimedia movement and retaining editors in Malaysia.
 * Spreading Wikimedia movement beyond the conventional educational-related societies.
 * Empowering more non-Wikipedia projects of Wikimedia Foundation, e.g. Wikimedia Commons, Wikiquote, Wiktionary etc.
 * Showing of full documentation inside Wikimedia Commons of ACG events in Malaysia, including individual cosplayers without any COI-related matters.
