Arnav, brilliant, though I think you should first introduce photographers to the Commons and explain the benefits. Let me know your thoughts, if need be privately, as I'm planning to go forward with a special meet aimed at the photography community myself, in Coimbatore. On 12/14/11, Arnav Sonara

Yeah, I mean since most of the photographers there would not be knowing what commons is, I ll first give them presentation about commons and explain them public domain licensing in detail. -- Thanks Arnav (ricku). (User:Rangilo_Gujarati) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rangilo_Gujarati

Hi, Nice work! I am not very at home in Prezi, so some suggestions by email: * Maybe it is better to call Wikimedia a movement to avoid confusion when they encounter Wikimedia India * In the file formats you seem to miss .OGG (sound/video) * It is probably better to never say Commons like we do,
