 In an effort to form a stable WMIN working environment and utilize the
 community’s experience in terms of guidance, the EC, has decided to form an 
 *Advisory
 Committee Board*. Since the past EC was already working on it, as a new
 EC, it’s our duty to take it forward.

 Since, we want to include all the domains of work that are associated
 with the working of WMIN, we propose different verticals under which the
 advisory committee would advise the EC -

- Law,
- Organizational Development,
- Technology,
- Policy making,
- Outreach and
- Others (Open to suggestions from the community)

 The function of the Advisory committee board will be to advise the
 Wikimedia India chapter EC in its strategic decision-making process. They
 will be providing the EC with appropriate suggestions and solutions towards
 queries and solicitations specifically asked for.

 It shall not be a part of the final decisions and resolutions adopted by
 the Board. In general, the Advisory Committee members may remain for an
 indefinite term.



 Since we want to take the inputs from the community, we would want the
 community to suggest inputs on the following functions of this Advisory
 Committee -

- Role of Advisory committee
- Strength of the Advisory Committee
- Code of Conduct to Advisory committee
- Code of Conduct to Advisory committee



 Apart from this, we would also like suggestions from the community on the
 Possible inclusion to this Important Committee.

 The new EC looks forward to full support from the Community.



 Thanks.

 Regards,
 Priyanka Tiwari

 Dear Board members of Wikimedia India,

 I am a member of Wiki Loves Earth international team, and I am
 contacting you concerning the winners of Wiki Loves Earth in India.

 The issue is that we are going to submit all national winners of Wiki
 Loves Earth to the international jury pretty soon (approximately 10-15
 September), and we still have no information about winners from India
 (winners from other countries can be found here:
 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/Finalists 
 ).
 At the moment India is the only country without any activity: among
 countries without list of winners there the Netherlands already have a list
 of winners but just don't want to publish it, while Ghana already has an
 active jury and will have their top-10 photos in just a few days.

 Unfortunately, both organisers of WLE in India (
 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014_in_India )
 seem to be inactive at the moment, and Clockery (main organiser) seems to
 be a 14-year old girl who is busy at school and who can use only her
 mother's computer, thus we are not sure she had really contacted anyone to
 form the Indian jury.

 Could you please do any of the following:
 * try to reach any of local organisers (Clockery or Manojk) and help
 them reaching jury members and organising top 10 selection. I do not know
 if you have any contacts of these users however - they have not responded
 to our emails, and I am not sure they are more active on their home wikis...
 * find some people to form an Indian jury yourselves and submit top-10
 Indian photos for the international contest. Given that India is already
 very late, you can form a jury of virtually anyone who can evaluate quality
 of pictures (even a group of chapter members would be fine)
 * if you are lacking jury members - we may try to find some people to
 help you (e.g. we can ask some Commons administrators or active
 photographers who are not participating in the international jury). But
 please write us as soon as possible if you will need some additional people
 for the Indian jury.

 In any case we hope that you will be able to submit winners pretty soon
 (you have just 526 photos, not that great deal) - in at most a week, until
 15 September - otherwise we may have to proceed without Indian images,
 which will mean Indians will not be able to be in the international top.

 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

 Best regards,
 Mykola Kozlenko (User:NickK)

 I'm one of the organisers (Clockery) and while I haven't been able
 to do much as regards WLE apart from beginning it, I would like to help
 finish it off.

 Ade, assuming that no one else volunteers, it would be nice if you
 could help. As far as I know, the only person who actually contributed
 photos was Manojk, so it should be relatively easy.

 Best regards,
 Abhirami.

 Dear Board members of Wikimedia India,

 I am a member of Wiki Loves Earth international team, and I am
 contacting you concerning the winners of Wiki Loves Earth in India.

 The issue is that we are going to submit all national winners of
 Wiki Loves Earth to the international jury pretty soon (approximately 
 10-15
 September), and we still have no information about winners from India
 (winners from other countries can be found here:
 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/Finalists
  ).
 At the moment India is the only country without any activity: among
 countries without list of winners there the Netherlands already have 
 a list
 of winners but just don't want to publish it, while Ghana already has 
 an
 active jury and will have their top-10 photos in just a few days.

 Unfortunately, both organisers of WLE in India (
 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014_in_India
  )
 seem to be inactive at the moment, and Clockery (main organiser) 
 seems to
 be a 14-year old girl who is busy at school and who can use only her
 mother's computer, thus we are not sure she had really contacted 
 anyone to
 form the Indian jury.

 Could you please do any of the following:
 * try to reach any of local organisers (Clockery or Manojk) and
 help them reaching jury members and organising top 10 selection. I do 
 not
 know if you have any contacts of these users however - they have not
 responded to our emails, and I am not sure they are more active on 
 their
 home wikis...
 * find some people to form an Indian jury yourselves and submit
 top-10 Indian photos for the international contest. Given that India 
 is
 already very late, you can form a jury of virtually anyone who can 
 evaluate
 quality of pictures (even a group of chapter members would be fine)
 * if you are lacking jury members - we may try to find some people
 to help you (e.g. we can ask some Commons administrators or active
 photographers who are not participating in the international jury). 
 But
 please write us as soon as possible

 Hey,

 We just concluded a week long Tamil Wikipedia outreach in Srilanka.

 April 25 - Seminar on free content, creative commons and Tamil Wikipedia
 organized by Noolaham foundation (meaning the Library foundation that works
 for documenting Srilankan Tamil knowledge resoureces), Colombo. Students
 from the Engineering faculty of Moratuwa University participated. The
 discussion was also slightly off-beat as we discussed how transparency and
 community building is done in Tamil Wikipedia and how it could be applied
 to similar non-profit and volunteer based projects. Details and pictures at
 http://ta.wikipedia.org/s/2swy

 April 26 - Tamil Wikipedia introduction at National Arts and Literature
 front, Colombo. Details and pictures at http://ta.wikipedia.org/s/2qdq

 April 29 - Tamil Wikipedia introduction for students of Jaffna
 University's campus at Vavuniya city. Details and pictures at
 http://ta.wikipedia.org/s/2rk9 .

 Besides this, few of us also participated in the Tamil Documentation
 conference held during April 27, 28 and spread the news about Tamil
 Wikipedia projects among the various scholars who came for the conference.

 An informal discussion was also held with the members of Noolaham
 foundation on ways to colloborate.

 A huge share of contributions to Tamil Wikipedia comes from Tamils in
 Srilanka and their diaspora. In this context, I find these meetings
 important and hope to see increased activity from this region in the
 future.

 Dear all,

 I take immense pleasure in (re)introducing Dr. U.B Pavanaja to the entire
 Wikimedia community! Dr. Pavanaja has joined the Access to Knowledge team
 at CIS as a consultant from March 4 onward. Those associated with Indian
 language computing and especially that in Kannada may know him already for
 having started the first Kannada website: Vishvakannada.com, the first
 Kannada online magazine, the first Indian language (Kannada) website to
 receive Golden Web Award, the first Indian language (Kannada) editor for
 Palm OS and many more firsts.

 Dr. Pavanaja holds a Master’s degree from Mysore University and Ph.D. from
 Mumbai University. He was a scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre,
 Mumbai, for about 15 years and has done advanced research in Taiwan. He
 resigned from BARC in 1997 and dedicated himself fully for the cause of
 Computer and Indian languages. You could read more about his contributions
 here http://cis-india.org/openness/blog/pavanaja-profile.pdf. Prior to
 this he has also worked at Microsoft Research Labs and has been a long time
 contributor to Kannada Wikipedia.

 We are very fortunate to have him on board. You can reach him at pavanaja

 :)

 Thank you,

 [Please note that I send this purely as a volunteer, and in no

 Dear all,

 I write to announce the Jury to select which bid will be chosen to
 host Wikimania in 2014.

 The twelve members will be:

 * Deror Avi - [[User:Deror avi]] from Israel (Wikimania 2011 General
 Manager)
 * Philippe Beaudette - [[User:Philippe (WMF)]] from the US (Wikimedia
 Foundation Director, Community Advocacy)
 * Jeromy-Yu Chan - [[User:Yuyu]] from HK (Wikimania 2013
 Co-ordinator-in-Chief)
 * Shujen Chang - [[User:Shujenchang]] from HK
 * Florence Devouard - [[User:Anthere]] from France
 * Orsolya Gyenes - [[User:OrsolyaVirág]] from Hungary (Wikimania 2012
 Deputy Program Chair)
 * James Hare - [[User:Harej]] from the US (Wikimania 2012 Co-chair)
 * Achal Prabhala - [[User:Aprabhala]] from India - Wikimedia Advisory
 Board member
 * Konarak Ratnakar - [[User:Kondicherry]] from India
 * Noopur Raval - [[User:Noopur28]] from India
 * Manuel Schneider - [[User:80686]] from Austria (Wikimedia
 Österreich; perpetual Wikimania organiser)
 * [[User:Whiteghost.ink]] from Australia

 Jan-Bart de Vreede and Sam Klein (of the Wikimedia Foundation Board)
 will also be part of the Jury, as normal.

 I and Phoebe Ayers - [[User:Phoebe]] - will be serving as moderators,
 neutral aides for the Jury who do not vote.

 To re-iterate what we've said before, it would be lovely if this was
 the last year we used this process, and that for 2015 onwards we could
 create a new, community-led and more open and transparent process.
 Some earlier discussions took place at [[m:Talk:Wikimania Advisory
 Group]]. Please feel free to give your thoughts there.

 As a reminder, bids have two weeks (until 23:59 UTC on 3 March 2013)
 until bidding creation closes. All cities which intend to run for the
 bidding process should have created a page on meta and entered the
 official list by this point.

 Thank you, and good luck to all Bids.

 Yours,

 Dear Wikimedians,

 I would like to request members of the Indian Wikipedia community to
 nominate themselves to serve on the CIS's A2K Programme Director
 recruitment committee. This programme will hopefully receive large
 grant from Wikimedia Foundation and we would greatly benefit from
 community input during the hiring process of the new Programme
 Director.

 The volunteer must be experienced Wikipedian, based in India [ as we
 cannot afford international travel for the interviews] and must have
 sufficient managerial experience [including experience with conducting
 interviews].  The volunteer should be able to spare time in September
 to review applications remotely and also conduct face-to-face
 interviews for 2 days either in Bangalore or Delhi.

 Those who fit the description are requested to nominate yourself by
 sending me an email with a profile and relevant URLs before COB 25th
 August 2012.

 I will publish a long list on cis-india.org on 29th August, after
 removing those nominations that don't have the required
 qualifications. The volunteer to serve on the recruitment committee
 will be selected from the long list by using IETF's Publicly
 Verifiable Nominations Committee (NomCom) Random Selection[1].

 The other members of this recruitment committee will consist of
 1. One of the existing independent consultants [Hisham, Nitika,
 Noopur, Shiju or Subha]
 2. One member from the Wikipedia Chapter (Wikimedia India Program
 Trust) community. To be nominated by the Chapter Executive Committee.
 3. Executive Director of CIS - me.

 The recruitment committee will be responsible for screening the long
 list of eligible applications and conducting one-on-one face-to-face
 interviews with the short list of applicants.

 Best wishes,

 Sunil

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] With Due Regrets

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

Dear Gautham,

Thanks for your response!! :) Am so glad that some one responded.

Well, As i mentioned previously, I don't want to mention the names of those
I e-mailed.

As far as the issue - to put it plainly, I developed an idea to improve
educational sector using social media. But now I find that some
organization has adopted the similar methodology. I was just concerned to

but I have my doubts.

I was confused over the commons license, and so I e-mailed active people
in the list. But there was no response.

For some reasons, I was afraid to bring the issue to the lists, so mailed
some members about it.

 Thank you.

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

Hi,

Thanks for the responses.

@Gautham : Thanks to u for ur swift responses.

@Ashwin : Thanks, Ashwin Ji called directly and we had a small discussion
about my concern.

@Arun : Here is the link
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2011/Submissions/Wikipedia_and_Social_Media._How_to_increase_the_utility_and_prominence_of_Wikipedia_using_Social_Mediaof
the content I posted on Wikipedia for WikiConference India 2011, This is
the link from where I fear the idea was taken. If you take a look @ the
footer of the page, there is a line which specifies that the text present
in the above page is linked with CC_License.

 It is indeed unfortunate that you feel someone stole your idea, but the
 bright side is that if this idea is something that can benefit the
 community at large and help improve the education in the country, then the
 real winner is our economy :)

 I am curious about the creative commons connection though. did you publish
 your idea somewhere under a cc-by-sa license? If you can share what exactly
 the license issue is, I would be happy to help, since I have dealt with a
 lot of copyright violations of my own work.

 Well, it's entirely possible that they had the idea too, no? None of
 us have a monopoly on ideas and sometimes, more than one person has
 the same or similar idea at the same time. It's happened before.

  I was confused over the commons license, and so I e-mailed active
 people
  in the list. But there was no response.

 Maybe you should have tried the Creative Commons mailing lists? Or
 even posted her to ask for a general call for help. If nothing else,
 feel free to email me and I can try and help.

 Thank you.

 Best,

 Gautam

gud ..now we can use that list...

moreover, we Indians can also let our neighbors know about the major events
we conduct so this will enhance cross nation participating... it will
also help us recognize cross cultural contribution and participation..
India is cross cultured itself... addition of neighboring cultures will
make our sub-continent look brighter! :)

Please share your thoughts on this...

 Hello everyone,

 I am so pleased to announce that Wikimedia Bangladesh, with the help of
 Independent University, Bangladesh, Chittagong, and Bangladesh Open
 Source
 Network, organized the first Bangla Wikipedia Unconference 2012 [1] in
 Chittagong [2] to promote Bangla Wikipedia [3] in Bangladesh. This
 outreach
 event was held in 2 and 3 of March and was attended by around 300
 participants. It was first big-level program of Wikimedia Bangladesh
 and it
 was outside of the Dhaka (the capital) to focus on country-wide
 outreach.
 We called it an unconference to give it a less formal look and to make
 the appearance more welcoming.

 This two days event was inaugurated by the Chittagong City Mayor and
 and in
 the last it was attended by the Since and Technology minister of
 Bangladesh
 Government. It was also attended by some other popular public figures,
 writers, and university professors, and media personalties. During the
 unconference we had events like workshops, photo exhibition, cultural
 program, seminars, article writing contest, etc. We had several teams
 from
 the schools, colleges, and universities in Chittagong as team
 participants.
 The unconference was hosted by Chittagong campus of Independent
 University,
 Bangladesh. You can see the some of the images of the events in the
 Commons
 category [4].

 Because of the presence of the popular public figures and government
 officials, the event got a significant amount of media coverage in
 national
 print and electronic media. We also even had billboards in the city's
 main
 crossings to let people know about Bangla Wikipedia which was the main
 purpose of this event and current strategic priority of Wikimedia
 Bangladesh.

 Wikimedia Bangladesh wants to thank everyone who supported us. We want
 to
 thank our sponsors and donors who helped us to arrange this big event.
 We
 want thank Wikimedia Foundation director Sue Gardner for her nice video
 speech that we screened in the inaugural ceremony. And of course to our
 participants, who eventually made this effort a success. And I
 apologize to
 let you guys know about this event in late. We are still working on
 putting
 everything on wiki.

 Because Bangla is the only official language in Bangladesh, and people from
 every corner of Bangladesh understand Bangla perfectly well. So you will
 get most of the e-mails in Bangla, but of course English is not forbidden.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] An Innovative Outreach effort

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

Dear All,

If you guys won't think I am repeating a similar incident like Deba and
Sri, i had a similar experience too...

After our WikiConference @ Mumbai, I traveled on Kingfisher flight back to
my place (Chennai, I am from Chennai btw). I am usually a last minute guy..
so I went to the airport pretty early and i was given access to the Lounge.
When I was looking through the pics taken during our conference, a middle
aged biz man asked me if I attended the conference... I said yes.. and he
told me tht he wanted to come.. but cudn make it cos of his work... I was
not wearing wiki T shirt, but i pinned the Wikipedia badge given by Ashwin
Baindur on to my t-shirt.

he was very eager and asked if I can share what al happened I walked
him thro th entire conference and he wanted to know what exactly we guys
did... so i took the liberty of tellin our editing stuffs in a nut shell

he took serious interest in the initiative...and as luck would have it. we
were on th same flight... and had a few editing session inside th lounge..

i felt happy tht i was able 2 contribute 2 our cause.!!

Thanks,
Ade.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] WCI 2012 (Was: REMINDER: Wikimania 2013 - invitation to bid)

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

Hello,

I suggest that we conduct WikiConference India 2012 @ some place on the
east coast of India. Considering that WikiConference India 2011 was held @
West Coast (Mumbai), we can plan something in Orissa, West Bengal, Andra
Pradesh , Tamil Nadu.

We can also have it like 2011 was in Bombay (notice B), 2012 can be in
Calcutta (notice C), 2013 can be in Delhi (notice D) like B, C,D
alphabetical order. I know A is missing... we can have sometime in
Ahmedabad or Assam

It will be like we are following a fashion in organizaing events.
Just my opinion.

Open for suggestions.

Regards,
Ade.

  Personally, I dont think Mumbai is in a position to do another one this
 year.

 Also, imo, like Wikimania has an unofficial rotation policy wherein the
 event takes place in different continents each year, we should make sure
 that the locations are in different parts of the country to give everyone
 the opportunity and make sure its not the same people traveling long
 distances each time.

  +1 to Pranav.
 
  Pranav's text serves to remind us why an annual WikiConference India
  is a good idea. Now that we are mostly no longer thinking of Wikimania
  2013, it is time to begin thinking of WikiConference 2012.
 
  Can cities other than Mumbai  Pune please start considering on this
  issue as to whether they have the whereall for this event? We would
  naturally hope that cities having existing large community setups such
  as Bangalore may please consider.
 
  Naturally, we may chose to do it simpler and easier than last year but
  if it is happen at all in this year, then by the end of February, a
  city community should volunteer. Else it may be difficult to do if
  there is a later start.
 
  There is also a school of thought which feels that even WikiConference
  India should be once in two years.

   Though WCI takes a lot of effort, yes, the results are for all of us
 to see.
   A new incubator has been initiated (Ahirani), there is talk of revival
 of
   other Indic pedias such as Kashmiri, several Photowalks, hackathons,
   Workshops and Academies have been held (or are being planned) in the
 last
   couple of months, COTM has been revived on en.wiki. Several people who
 came
   as attendees are now active members of the community. These are just
 some of
   the major happenings - When we came up with the idea, we never
 imagined this
   sort of impact. Each community seems to have taken a leaf out of
 anothers
   book. No one can take credit for this, it is just a result of mingling
 with
   one another. WCI was ridden with mistakes and severly short on
 manpower, but
   hey - it was our first attempt at anything like this and Im sure we
 did a
   decent job given the circumstances. Im also sure it is a lesson for the
   future, the start of a learning curve.
  
   On the other hand, there need to be resources available to do it all
 over
   again. So, IMO if a certain local community anywhere in the country
 feels it
   can take it up, yes they should go ahead with another version in 2012
 as
   hosting it on an annual basis will only take the event to the next
 level and
   give us exposure that no local event can give.
  
   The only advice I can give to communities interested, dont think
 holding it
   is a cakewalk, horrendous things will happen and you will need to deal
 with
   them, be prepared to work your ass off (literally, 16 to 18 hours a
 day, 7
   days a week), have atleast 5 people working on it full time and 20
 people
   who can give atleast 5 hours a week to begin with and 10 hours a week
 in the
   last couple of months and be ready to face the worst with a brave face.
  
   We will soon be coming out with our report on WCI 2011 and hope that it
   would help future organisers of similar events in their endevours.

   Hi,
  
   I appreciate the wise decision from Indian Wikipedia community to opt
 out of
   Wikimania bid until next few years.
  
   Even Wikiconference India need not be an annual event considering the
 amount
   of human and financial resources spent on it. What we need is
 strengthening
   local communities in each language and city by means of more meetups,
   unconferences, outreach, on project activity and events with specific
 

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-del] [Foundation-l] REMINDER: Wikimania 2013 - invitation to bid

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

Dear All,

It almost took me quite sometime to go through the mailers above.

I honestly go by what Ashwin says. I pretty much understand that India,
needs more local events to establish itself inside the country and then we
can aim to bring in Wikimania's.

If I may make a suggestion, I would like to say that, in future, the events
we organize can be aimed to conduct a Wikimania in India soil. Lets all
together aspire to create events which will ultimately make us ready to
organize a Wikimania in India.

I suggest we pitch in some SME (Subject Matter Experts) from different
industries and try to involve them in working with wikipedia as editors.
For E.g. we can have some one from IT companies to work on the technical
content placed in Wikipedia.. similarly ppl from varied industries can
involve themselves... we can also conduct local events centralized with the
industries... by doing so, we get more volunteers to participate and help
in team building :) in a year or two, this practice will make us sufficient
enough to conduct Wikimania's

Lets make Wikimania as an ultimate destination to reach and the local
events we organize (like GLAM, Workshops) etc can be minor milestones we
wish to reach.

Regards,
Ade.

 Thank you all for your responses.

 Thanks Pradeep for telling us that the bid was a placeholder bid. I
 was not aware of that. Placing the placeholder was indeed a good
 action, though of course, it would have been better if wider publicity
 of placeholder being placed were given.

 I'm personally happy to see Mumbai opting to build up local community
 activities which it missed out last year due to their full and
 tremendous commitment to WikiConference 2011. Mumbai Community has
 been doing great events and they have a wonderful line up including
 GLAM.

 I'm of the opinion that the Delhi bid be discarded prima facie and as
 Mumbai has clarified its stance, Arjuna Rao Chawala, as Chapter head
 may like to confirm India's non-participation in contesting for
 hosting Wikimania 2013.

 Of course, if there are dissenting opinions please pitch in right away
 as it may seem that I'm trying to rush through with this issue, which
 is not the case.

 Warm regards,

Hey Barry,

Greetings. Glad you are making your presence to India conference and
delivering a talk. Cant wait to to hear your words.

IMO, I think it would be nice, if your talk focuses on the future of
India/Indians in the wikimedia movement.. You might also consider talking
on how people can contribute to improve Wikipedia's presence among the
strong and culturally inclined Indian community.

Open for suggestions.

 This is relevant to all those who have written to the various lists and
 asked how one can participate. volunteer or help in any way.

 We need people to upload images to Wikimedia Commons.

- We face a problem in that photographers are willing to go out  shoot
and donate images. But they are unfamiliar with Commons and do not upload 
 it
there. However, we find that they know Flickr and are willing to upload it
under a suitable Creative Commons license.
- There are hundreds of free images on the net, we can show you how to
locate them. These can be uploaded to Commons. We are at this point of time
interested in images pertaining to India only.

 It is a job requiring patience, care for details and intelligence as the
 images need to be categorised also. Where relevant we would like to add them
 to articles too.

 We need a small TEAM of three to five - people, age, sex, religion, etc,
 etc, no bar, except that they should have:
 * Knowledge of uploading images to Commons
 * know how to categorise
 * know how to load images into Wikipedia
 * Possess good judgement.
 * Possess an abiding love for Wikipedia and willing to contribute to it.

 If you are interested, let us know. This is a serious commitment under the
 India Loves Wikipedia initiative. Dont apply if just for time paas.

 Helpers will be awarded barnstars at a suitable date after the project is
 done.

hi,

I am new to the community.. I had been an avid wiki user since my school
days. I am now working and still continue to use Wiki extensively as a part

 Hi folks,


 My sincere apologies for the late writeup.


 The 36th Bangalore Wiki Meetup was organized on 14 Aug 2011 at CIS,
 Bengaluru and attended by 8 Wikipedians.



 Talks

 *Shiju*

 Shiju was formally greeted by the Bangalore community for being appointed
 as a consultant by the foundation for Indic initiatives. He shared his
 experience in Wikimania-2011, Hafia, Israel, how he interacted with the
 attendees over there, the motivation and interest and also the growth
 perspectives which could also be part of his initiatives in the coming days.
 He spoke about the discussions held over.



 *Hisham*

 Hisham has explained about the tidbits of the Pune pilot program to the
 Bangalore community, the details of the outreach movement and its outcome.
 He also explained about the mobo initiatives of the foundation to make
 Wikipedia available for handheld mobile devices. Indic initiatives would be
 one of the other prime focus of the foundation in terms of facilitating the
 growth of Indian Wikipedias. Wikipedias of The Netherlands and Germany might
 be used as a helping entity where the substantial growth and the strategy
 lying therein would also help program new plans for Indian as well as
 English Wikipedia in India. He also spoke about GLAM, successful initiatives
 in several museums in the UK and how the same strategies could be applied
 here to guide people to contribute more for Wikipedia. Hisham also talked
 about distribution of  90,000 laptops in Government schools in Assam and
 helping the students use and contribute for Wikipedia. He showed the glimpse
 of Pune programs, how Nikhil from the Pune community visited school to
 school to bring out an active mass for the pilot program. He also mentioned
 the statistics of the Pune how 20 Campus ambassadors with the guidance of
 100 teachers brought out thousands of articles.



 *Nitika*

 Hisham introduced Nitika to the Bangalore community. She then was greeted
 by the community and talked briefly about her new position, the motivation
 and participation and interests.



 *Doscussions:*

 *Srikanth R.*

 Srikanth spoke about the geo-tagging in commons, explained how it would
 help to locate places in off and in-Wiki, demonstrated photo upload in
 Commons and spoke about the benefits of uploading high quality photos in
 Commons with the commercial tags attached by the photographer as most
 photographers about their photos uploaded in Commons can never be sold by
 them.



 EC president Arjuna interacted about the chapter and its coordination with
 the community where Arun had interaction with the other members.

 Thanks for sharing your concern.  As of now, there has been some more
 nominations.   The right forums for EC elections discussions are members

 I request all the well wishers who are members to use the same. If any

 Gautam and the organizing committee for the election, it might make sense

 The window for nomination hasn't been open for long, it might make sense
 in extending it for a while so more Wikimedians can hear about it.

 Please note that the *last date of nominations* for Executive Committee
 Elections 2011 of Wikimedia India chapter is *Aug 29, 2011*

 With less than 3 days to go for the last date of nominations, there were
 just 2 nominations for the 3 vacant posts.

 This is very disappointing and concerning for the future of Wikimedia
 Chapter India.

 I sincerely appeal to the veteran Wikipedians / Wikimedians of India to
 come forward and help grow the chapter.

 Dear All:

 We have instituted a monthly call between the India Chapter and the
 Wikimedia Foundation.  Members of the Chapter EC, Hisham and Asaf Bartov
 (who heads up Global South Relationships at the Foundation) will 
 participate
 in this call.  The objective of the call is to share information and 
 improve
 collaboration between the Chapter and the Foundation on various Wikimedia
 projects of relevance to India.  We had the first one on Aug 24, 2011, and
 here's a quick update.

 *Chapter Update*

- 30 persons attended the workshop on Copyright and Open Licensing
conducted on 30th July 2011 in Bangalore, which was well received.

 http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Events/Copyright_and_Open_Licensing_SeminarPlan
- Plan to conduct 1st WikiAcademy with the Department of Public
Libraries, Karnataka for their senior Library professionals on 12 Sep 
 2011.
- Membership currently stands at ~80
- Participation from community on some projects but the response is
below expectations. Chapter hopes that the response will improve as 
 more
activities are taken up by Chapter in the near future.
- AGM will be conducted on September 24 2011.  Elections process
 for EC vacancies has been initiated.
- Process for applying for FCRA prior permission has been actioned
with necessary steps being taken with local banks, consultants and the 
 WMF.
The bank account required for FCRA is ready. The draft of letter from 
 WMF
will be finalized in a week by Chapter Accountant and Advisor (another
prerequisite) and then FCRA application will be submitted. 3-4 months 
 are
required for approval by Home Ministry, Government of India.

 *Foundation Update*

- Education Program is doing well from a numbers perspective - with
more than 1000 students involved.  However, there is a great deal of 
 effort
required to continue to support and enable and motivate these students.
Additional Campus Ambassadors are being selected from the participating
institutions.  Hisham requested that everyone reach out and be 
 encouraging
to the Campus Ambassadors, students and teachers.
- 2 new staff members selected; Nitika has joined  Shiju will be
joining by October
- Initial conversations were being sought with leading mobile
companies to explore Wikipedia on mobile
- Independent public trust to be set up hopefully by next week,
followed by FCRA prior permission and other approvals required for tax
exemption, etc.

 *Collaboration on future projects*

 Some requests from colleges to participate in campus ambassador
 like program  were received by the chapter and Hisham. Hisham said that 
 till
 the ongoing program is stable, he will not be able to roll it to other
 cities. He suggested  that colleges can get  started by forming  student
 clubs and Foundation staff are providing necessary information and
 assistance for the same. He also requested Chapter EC to extend their
 support for the same.

 Chapter seeks active involvement
