Mumbai Meetup
(prev.)← · →(next.)

Summary
As discussed in the Meetup/Mumbai/Mumbai1 in September 2010, Wikipedians in Mumbai & Suburbs will meet up at least once every month. The meetups are intended to be structured as follows —Introductions, a few focused talks by Wikipedians to share experience / expertise followed by demos and open discussions on topics of common interest.

Wikimedia fellow Liam Wyatt is visiting India and we are using this opportunity to organize events / meetings across India to achieve the following:
 * Create greater awareness among wikipedians about GLAM.
 * Sharing of Liam's GLAM experiences from various countries.
 * Connect with GLAM stakeholders across cities
 * Potentially create Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of wikipedians in each of these cities.

India has a wealth of information and knowledge and the GLAM stakeholders can play a key role in making some of that public domain knowledge accessible to all.

Pre-Meeting discussions can be on the talk page please.

It's 10 minutes walking distance from the railway station. If you're coming by rickshaw/taxi you can state your destination as Arya Samaj, Santacruz. The auto can take you through either Linking Road or S V Road.
 * 1) On S V Road, take the lane (called North Avenue) directly opposite to Dynasty Chinese Restaurant.
 * 2) On Linking Road, take the turn at Tresorie.

You will find a lane opposite Tresorie where the Pinstrom office is the last building. One of us will get there before time and stand there. You can call me on 897-625-3586. I'll try my best with directions. Do keep the address with you for reference.
