Hello, The meetup and workshop will take place on 23-24 February 2019 at Ahmedabad https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_Wikisource_Workshop,_Ahmedabad After the Indian Wikisource Consultation Gujarati Wikisource community members are interested in this workshop. I believe this workshop and the meetup will be helpful for them. We'll make sure to follow-up this event with future plan(s).
