Dear all, Let me give you a brief update on things we did in Delhi to celebrate Wikipedia's 11th birthday :) To start with in the morning, Nitika had connected us with a photography group called Tassavurati run by Kapil Syal. Shiju, Subha and I went to meet them (12 of them) and made a small presentation on Commons. They were all very enthusiastic and wanted to share their images for free and thought this was a great platform for them. They plan for specific trips like covering Surajkund mela and marathons etc and could be useful. Some of them have already made an account and started tinkering around :) ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baul#Present_status) Back in the office, we had 12 people again! Since most of them were new or people with basic knowledge, Hisham was updating them on the variety of new programs that Wikimedia is doing in India. There was a student from IIT and another from Jamia. Both have expressed interest in organizing meetups, editathons and maybe a hackathon for their college LUGs. We hope to hear from them by next week and do something concrete before this month ends. There were also people from advanced research organizations and such. They have expressed interest in helping expand and network to build a strong community in Delhi. Mitra (User: MittyKomon) is a new editor who expressed interest in going to Jaipur literary festival and perhaps doing some outreach or at least getting photographs of all the celebrated literary figures coming there. We cut the super cool Wiki cake :P and took pictures. I loved the Google hangout bit, we should all do it more often (it's better than IRC logs :P) As Delhi SIG chair, it was heartening to see genuine interest and we hope to maintain this level of communication. The photos have been uploaded to Category:Wikipedia_11_in_India. Thank you, Warmly -- Noopur Raval Student Arts and Aesthetics Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Ph: 9650567690 _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list wikimediaindi...@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
