The long awaited Mauritian Bloggers’ Meeeting was a success!
We did it!
Today, the 14th March 2009 is a date which should be written in the history of blogging in Mauritius.
For a first time, 25 bloggers met for a first meeting in Mac Donald, Port Louis.
This event had been organized since more than 1 week back by mainly Morinn, Jevin and myself.
This event was even hosted on facebook for a more convenient way to manage and send updates to all the guests.
btw, a big sorry to everyone in Mac Donald today, since we know, we were a bit crowdy (and noisy?), taking up 25 chairs in a long row 😛
Who?
Ya, ya, I know, each one of you want to get hold of all the names of those present in today’s meeting 😛
So, the 25 bloggers who attended our meeting are :

btw, I guess most of us are on facebook, so this won’t be a big problem 🙂
Who blogged this event too?
I guess many of us will blog this soon, perhaps tomorrow but till now, the following fellow bloggers have already shared published their posts :
- Morinn “The bloggers meeting was great.“
- Nussaibah “Before the meeting“
- Stefan “Blogger meeting from 14-3-09“
- Ashesh “Active Societies on the UoM campus“

What’s next?
Of course, we won’t stop here!
Together with all other bloggers, we will soon be back in the real world to organise something even nicer and I hope that we will get even more bloggers attending the meeting…
Who knows, perhaps we may invite YOU, readers too!!!
btw, dear bloggers, now I am sure that I know the names of each one of you.
Special sorry to Sandeep, Irfaan, Parwez, Pirbhay and Ashfaq since I kept forgetting their names each time 😛
As from now, I can easily associate the names correctly with the pics 🙂
A big thanks to everyone for their presence!

Dear all,
Sorry for not coming today. I called Jevin to ask him to tell you that we were taken in a family lunch in Quatre-Bornes. It’s nice to see that you have had a lot of fun and I guess you’ve discussed about very interesting things.
When is the 3rd meeting?

@Avinash :
Hi, its ok if you have not been able to make it for this time, but the next time, you have to be among us 🙂
Anyway, it was quite a short notice (about 1 week).
The next one?
We started discussing about the next event at the end of the meeting, and we hope it will be very soon.
I think we will soon be launching a suggestion box for collecting any ideas for the next one 🙂
And I guess that Mac Do will not be appropriate this time lol!
Have a nice Sunday!
