 Hi Ashwin,

 Glad that the right name Wikiconference, India was chosen.

 Wikimania is a global name. So, it is best left untouched to avoid
 confusion.

 Names like Mela, Utsav don't recognise the non-sanskrit based multi
 linguistic nature of India. So better to name all Wikimedia Indian events,
 tracks in English alone.

 Hello friends,

 We need to decide by tomorrow night (21 Jun 2011) 2200 hrs IST (arbitrary,
 for the sake of speeding things up) as to what the conference is to be
 called.

 Four options have been listed - WikiMela, WikiConference India, WikiUtsav
  Wikimania India. A few people have already voted but we want wider input
 just to be sure.

 So please add your vote at -

 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiConference_India_2011#Name

 As of now, WikiConference India - the default placeholder we used seems to
 be the winner, but we want to be pretty sure, you guys dont want a name with
 Indian overtones such as WikiUtsav or WikiMela.

 Tomorrow night at 2200 hrs, the supports for/against will be counted for
 each  the result announced so we can go in for the logo design. So do go 
 put in your vote.

 Warm regards,

 Ashwin Baindur

 The name WikiConference India was selected by the community through
 simple majority. The discussion began on this page (url:
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiConference_India_2011)  and has
 now been archived here (url :
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiConference_India_2011/Conference_Name
 ).

 For the record, the votes were as follows -

 * WikiMela ( variants) - 8 support, 1 oppose
 * WikiConference India - 14 support, 2 oppose
 * WikiUtsav - 2 support
 * WikiMania India - 2 support, 5 oppose
 * WikiBharati - 1 support

 Those who feel that WikiMela would be more evocative, creative and
 brandworthy may consider Harriet's suggestion to :

 within India use locally understood names appropriately to brand events
 like Utsav for the After Conference Party..or Mela for Wiki community
 meets.

 Warm regards,
