We're hoping you can attend the birthday celebrations in Delhi this weekend! I'll actually be in Delhi next week. It would be good if you have time to meet up for an informal chat. Answers to your questions: So, I would like to know what is the status of your India office? The most important thing we're working on right now is hiring a Country Director. Our office will consist of a small team of 3-5 people, so it will be a modest operation. We still plan to open the office in the next few months. In addition to the small office the Foundation plans to open, there is a vibrant community of volunteers, as well as an established Chapter in Bangalore. The volunteers have organized more than 60 events to celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary in India. You can find more information here: http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page When are you going to inauguration(if its not already done) the office and where in India? We still have not decided on a location. I would also like to contact the head of your India office. As I said, we still have not hired a Country Director--the person who will manage our small team--but Barry Newstead, our Chief Development Officer, will be in Delhi with me next week. I will highly appreciate if you could answe me as soon as possible. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Anniversary event in Hyderabad
Hi everyone, So recently a Hyderabad event got created on ten.wikipedia.org, and I've received some email about it. However, if you read the page (http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad,_India) you can see it doesn't quite seem to be run by Wikimedians, and I'm concerned by some of the content, such Wikipedia, as an ultimate resource for Online Media/Marketing and the fact that is seems to be run solely by a media company. Does anyone know the editor who created the page or listed contact? I don't want to promote an event that is less about Wikipedia and your work than some random company.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Anniversary event in Hyderabad
Steven Its a common issue with marketing companies like this. The event is for 17th January, I think we should delete the page altogether, there's no sense in promoting something this exploitative on the wrong day. I recall there were some Wikipedians from Hyderabad, but not sure if thats one of them. Perhaps someone from the chapter might be able to shed more light on this. In the mean time, I vote to have the page removed or any other that tries to exploit the ten celebration.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: IIIT-B PGDSD Wikipedia Week
Dear all, Please note the Wikipedia week initiative taken by the IIIT Bangalore students. This is a great initiative to bring in students to actively contribute from that institution. IIIT B students and few other colleges spontaneously volunteered for the recent Wikipedia stall we had in the World Sanskrit conference to create awareness for wikipedia in Sanskrit and other Indian languages. ( http://bit.ly/sansbookfair) It would be great to see more college students come up initiatives like these. Kudos Srikanta and team. Let us know how we can support this initiative.

Volunteer at the World Sanskrit Book fair and motivate people to contribute articles in Sanskrit language. [3 students have volunteered] 2. Volunteer and participate at the 10at anniversary celebration [7 students have registered] 3. Pick an English article and translate it to the [Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil] and submit the articles to the respective wikis. *Impact expected* 1. Motivate students to participate in the Wikipedia anniversary event and take part in Bangalore chapter events 2. Empower students to contribute not only in English but also in different local languages @Arun I have a group of 7 students who are ready to volunteer, We thought that, we can take the responsibility of the logistics of Segment 1 and Segment 2 events. Let it be setting up the mike speakers, wi-fi's, chairs, etc.. we could deal with it. Also any new student volunteer who shows interest for volunteering and sends a mail to the Bangalore wiki list could be integrated into this team. If the number increases slightly we can carve out a small group who will take care of front desk and registration too. So in this way there will be more student volunteers like us running around on the event day. Meanwhile you guys can concentrate on the main aspects of the event. Let me know what you think on this. I was unable to join the telecon tday, i shall join tomorrow and provide any clarifications in case you need it.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [WikiX-l] India specific Designs / Artwork for Wikipedia 10
Thanks a lot for your help, Swapnil. You have been a great help. Swapnil had contacted me to volunteer his time three days ago and has been very helpful with the design of the banners even though he hasn't been directly involved with the movement in the past. On the behalf of the Wikimedia community, I would like to extend gratitude and a sincere thanks for all your help. :) Yours sincerely, Anirudh Bhati 00 91 9328712208 Skype: anirudhsbh On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Srikanth Lakshmanan srik@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I am sharing the artwork for Wikipedia 10[1] which can be used in case you are printing banners etc.I would add more to this album.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-hyd] Anniversary event in Hyderabad
Just now found two events in Tamilnadu organized by people whose wiki involvement is not recognizable. Found a spamy link too. Raised an alert notice in respective pages and left the details in talk pages. http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podanur http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coimbatore ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
[Wikimediaindia-l] Userboxes of Cities
Hi all,
I was browsing though and found only one userbox made by somebody who
is in Vishakapatnam.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes/Cities
{Template:User Visakhapatnam}}
I am no great designer but do see the code to hack something together here :-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template
Now I don't know how good/ugly it will be but would be nice to have
some city templates
which might also encourage newbies to the group and can be used to
beautify our own userpages (which can be part of sharing perhaps
showing off during the WP:Event) .
Just a thought. If somebody wants to try to do something, most welcome
otherwise I would try to get my head around it and get atleast
something up either by week-end or next week at latest.
I am not one with sense on colors and stuff (design) .
