Minutes

 * 1) After a round of introductions, we decided to give updates on the WikiConference India 2011 to the attendees and also discuss a few items of interest. Members took the opportunity to connect with each other and speak face-to-face.
 * 2) We were not able to view the Oral citations project video since we did not have screening space. We met in the Food court.
 * 3) Updates were provided on the GLAM with The Museum, Mumbai. We're still awaiting word from the Museum on a good date and a good time to begin our interactions from. We also decided to approach the Bombay Natural History Society.
 * 4) We also were not able to talk about the World Heritage Site since it became too late.
