I held my first meet-up on 10th June at Colombo Harbor. I chose this location because although it is a key landmark in my country, there were lots of editing to be done. Even though passenger ships/passenger liners come to harbour, most of the places are not photographed and only a few places are marked on Google Maps. Since I have never participated in a meet-up, hosting one without any experience what so ever was a huge challenge. Hence, I limited the participants to 6 people. Although the seats were taken quickly only 2 other people showed up.
I was kind of expecting a low number because I read some recaps of @IlankovanT and @AnuradhaP . Thanks a lot for @AnuradhaP for warning about low attendees in advance and things to do when you are hosting a one. 30 minutes before the meet-up time, it started raining and it got me really worried. However, it didn’t last for long and left a beautiful blue sky with awesome clouds
We met near Chaithya Road and briefly introduced ourselves and discussed a strategy to cover the huge area of harbour premises (nearly 600 acres they say). @Miyuru seemed to be the man with a plan. He has already plotted a path and what’s missing and what to add. So we Started at the north-east corner. We decided to use the car as the distance between places makes it less practical for walking.
Here is the list of some of the places we could edit https://goo.gl/maps/MGpgEneftpz
We took pictures, marked places, wrote down things to be added later. Athri was the designated driver and seemed to be quite good at it 
Although I planned to go till 7.00pm one of the participants asked whether we could finish early. Since we have covered almost 50% of the premises and there was no way we could finish the whole harbour on the first day, we all decided to call it a day.
All three of us had fun and it was a nice change of phase to the busy work life we have. Can’t wait to do my second meet-up and also the 2nd part of the harbour meet-up.
Some 360 Videos I took ( I bought a Xiaomi Mi Sphere especially to get 360 pics for Google Street View and this was the first day I used it)

PS: when you do a meet-up and find edits / missing places together, who gets to do those? How to divide those news edits among the participants?
