Indic Wikimania Bangalore meetup brought us more learnings, a great opportunity to collaborate, network, learn and discuss about the broader objective, projects and strategy of the Wikimedia Moment. This year’s wikimania local meetup was one of the most successful events ever. It was really nice to meet all new and old friends after a long time😊
