Connections

edit

I was very fortunate to meet those people (its a long list) with whom I discussed ideas online / via video calls but when we meet in person discussions turned into reality

  • James Heilman and Tim Moody : We had a long discussion on Internet-in-a-Box Hardware add-ons and box designs which converted into the reality
  • Ananya Mondal: Her challenge in orgenising Wiki LovesButterfly project?
  • Butch Bustria : Discussed upcoming Wikimania and another possible global event during the Asia-Oceania meetup
  • Biplab Anand: Discussed about a possible collaboration for the projects that can be commonly done in Nepal and India.
