Hello,

I had registered myself before the registration last date, but failed to fill 
up the Google form to specify the program which I want to attend before the 
registration last date, is that is the reason I haven’t received any 
participation links yet? Or it will be send soon?

Kindly clarify if anything else I need to do.

Best Regards,
Rajeeb.

The registration was open for a month. We wanted to keep this quick/instant
registration option open for Wikimedians.
Thanks for the suggestion. We have removed the edit count mention. You may

Hi

I have some concerns about your criteria of experience. It is only
considering the online activity but is completely ignorant towards the
offline work. Following the information on meta, I wouldn't qualify for
instant registration. I registered earlier, but there might be others
interested but won't meet the criteria requirements.  If you are extending
the option of instant registration, it should be open to all wikimedians.

Thanks,
Manav

Hi Bodhi,

 

Thanks for sharing the updates, and the program has interesting sessions.

 

I just feel that the eligibility threshold for instant registration is too high 
- 5,000 global edits is too high for instant registration. I believe it can be 
lowered, especially since it is an online event, and won't add too much to the 
costs. My reasoning is last minute registration may generally be by people who 
are not very involved, and may not know about the event. People from other 
movement-aligned groups such as Creative Commons, Mozilla or even GLAM 
institutions might want to attend, expecting them to have a lot of edits might 
not be reasonable. A lot of newcomers may also get excluded with this.

 

Please see if this can be reconsidered.

 

Best,

KC.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2021: Important Updates

2021-02-17 Thread pavanaja 
Hello KC,

 

Where is the condition of 5000 global edits mentioned in the instant 
registration page?

 

Regards,

Pavanaja

Hi Bodhi,

 

Thanks for sharing the updates, and the program has interesting sessions.

 

I just feel that the eligibility threshold for instant registration is too high 
- 5,000 global edits is too high for instant registration. I believe it can be 
lowered, especially since it is an online event, and won't add too much to the 
costs. My reasoning is last minute registration may generally be by people who 
are not very involved, and may not know about the event. People from other 
movement-aligned groups such as Creative Commons, Mozilla or even GLAM 
institutions might want to attend, expecting them to have a lot of edits might 
not be reasonable. A lot of newcomers may also get excluded with this.

 

Please see if this can be reconsidered.

 

Best,

KC.

Hello all,

 

Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2021 is going to start the day after tomorrow and we 
have some updates for you.

*   The event will have the opening speech from Asaf Bartov, the title 
being "India: Looking back, looking ahead". Asaf has been observing and 
supporting Wikimedia efforts in India since 2009, first as a volunteer, and 
later as a Wikimedia Foundation grants program officer and capacity builder. In 
this talk, he will offer some thoughts on the Indian Wikimedia journey so far, 
and on the road that still lies ahead, from his perspective. Please find the 
entire program schedule here - 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Wikimeet_India_2021/Program
*   We closed the registration of participation yesterday. However, for the 
experienced WIkimedians, who have missed that deadline due to whatsoever 
reason, we have kept the option for instant registration at the last minute. 
For more details, please check here - 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Wikimeet_India_2021/Registration#Instant_registration
