Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Wikimania 2013 - Announcement of Jury and invitation to bid
+1 to Pranav's comment on lack of a local team. The main problem as I see in India will be the distance and hence someone in Delhi can't really be of much help to someone in Bombay. While you guys set up a local team and figure out logistical details, may I please suggest that you consider these aspects?

Thanks for reminding me indirectly, Srikanth, to give Beria a barnstar for WCI 2011.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Wikimania 2013 - Announcement of Jury and invitation to bid
Iv been following this for some time now - afaik, an Indian bid for 2013 will stand a strong chance. 2012 is going to take place in the US and there is an unwritten rule for holding it in different continents each year (though there is no compulsion, this has been followed so far) and with India being a focus area for WMF, things look bright. However, the major factor is putting together a '''Strong''' local team - which I dont see at the moment, which makes things difficult. @ WCI 11 we were sorely short of hands.
