WONDERFUL, it is great effort from Dinesh Valke. It definitely

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] SAARC Mailing List

[Sridhar Gutam]

Excellent initiative we (openaccessindia.org) were also thinking to have 
either SAARC or South Asia group for Open Access... we have Open Access India, 
Open Access Pak, Open Access Nepal... if others too establish communities and 
work for Open Access in South Asia... that would be great...

For the OpenCon 2016 Ranchi, we would be having a session on 
Editing/Contributing to Wikipedia and its projects.

Thanks

Hi, 
During WikiConference India 2016, the chapter and user-group representatives 
from  South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) held a short 
meeting on 6th August evening. 
One of the outcomes of the meetings was to create a SAARC mailing list. SAARC 
mailing is the first attempt for SAARC Wikimedians to come on a common platform 
for discussions and doing programs together. 
The interested Indian community members may subscribe to the mailing list.

people, many of whom come from non-traditional backgrounds and have a fervent 
commitment to Wikimedia movement’s community-led nature. 
* Strong cultural competency: Able to navigate in a global movement and on a 
global team in addition to navigating the complexity of India. 
* Partnership developer: Able to initiate, negotiate and operate partnerships
