Currently ideas are very rough. The meetup would be as below:

- Proposed dates and places
- weekend including the second Monday of October, Japan
- the second Monday of October is national holiday accompanied with Sunday, so the meetup length could be at least two overstay.
- Proposed dates and places
- Meetup provides us with fun and educational occasion
- Possible keynote speakers include
- Jimbo Wales, Joichi Ito, Tsukamoto-san (Developer of PuKuWiki & translator of "The Wiki Way")
