It’s a great feeling to be able to see a network one started 5 years back, still growing, spreading further and hopefully adding some value in the lives of all who are a part of it!

. It sure has added a lot to mine and provided me an opportunity to interact with so many bloggers and indulge in so many activities with them.
We would love your suggestions on what all you want to do on this occasion (both online/offline) .
Here’s what we are planning – a month long series of activites
So starting this week onwards, we can have
1. A heritage walk (during the last meet the group wanted to do another one pretty quick) – proposed location – Nizammudin dargah, hear the qawwalis too, proposed date – 18th Jan (sunday)
2. Call it what u want,
An Eat Meet, a “tw-eat up” or a foodie meet - you get the idea – we all go and gorge on FOOD

- proposed location – chandni chowk, proposed date -1st feb (sunday)
3. Both above locations double up as photography walks too.
4. Someone suggested a nature walk at Yamuna Bio diversity park. One needs binocs for such a thing and some knowledge on ornithology as well

. But if all are game, we can surely visit one of the areas in NCR where we catch up with nature – proposed location yamuna bio-diversity park, delhi zoo, Sultanpur bird sanctuary (near gurgaon)
5. And the grand finale – we are organising
India’s first wordpress camp (called wordcamp) on feb 21st, feb 22nd.
Matt Mulenwag, the founder of
wordpress has kindly agreed to grace us with his presence for the event

. I am quite excited about this event and we would definitely need help from all of you to make it a grand success.
Suggestions are welcome so that we can quickly finalise the activities with their corresponding coordinators/ volunteers. Feel free to invite your other blogger/flickr/ twitter friends to these events.
Let the drums roll!

rally nice ! WordPress is a nice piece of code. Nice to see bloggers group organizing wordcamp instead of wordpress fans camp.

I have to agree with Andy about Joomla being more of a CMS platform than a blog platform. But I have a feeling that would be a minority opinion.
We already organized session like this, will inform you more
