Minutes of meeting
edit- The presenters emphasized that they were not trainers and the attendees were not trainees. The meetup was intended to be more like a kind of sharing session between the presenters (whom probably were more 'nerd' of having played around Wikipedia since ages ago) and the attendees (newbie Wikipedia editors) on friend-to-friend basis ;)
