This event is an opportunity for all members of Wikimedia Bangladesh as well as the regular bnwikipedians to meet with each other in person and as part of the event we will discuss the future issues and challenge for Wikimedia movement in Bangladesh.
  2. If applicable, what benefits have you seen from doing this kind of meeting in the past? We organised similar program last year and we've seen community members to get engage new projects. The previous event was also huge success in terms of outreach as we had received coverage from our national print and electronic media.
  3. How will you let participants know about the meeting? We'll use our official social media, various mailing list and Bangla Wikipedia's village pump to get the word out.
