Wikipedia Education program in Kathmandu University: Muzzamil Sayed along with Nichole Saad from Education Programs discussed about possibilities of Wiki Education program at Kathmandu University.

Video production group: I have joined with the Video production group in wikimedia. We have got a platform for colaboration in video works and also to know updates and the trends on creating video files. I got news about expiration of Mp3 copyright. Being a good contributor of audio files in Commons it was good news for me which will make uploading much easier. During a presentation I discovered I was the proud creator of the third most watched video (Tutorial for how to write article in Nepali Wikipedia) among all the videos uploaded in wikimedia commons.

We discussed our common wiki-activities, achievements, problems, strategies and future plans. Wikimedian of Orissa, India expressed interest to organize the next Wiki Conference India in 2018. All the participant in the meetup agreed to help them from their side.
