Community efforts
The first meetup was held in Baku on 6 December 2009. The event was organized in order to establish relations of friendship and familiarity between Wikipedians and a number of other issues – including technical problems and prospects for future development.
Recently in order to solve the problems, an emergency meeting was organized on 23 October 2010 in Shaki. About 9 users participated in it.
