Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-del] [Foundation-l] REMINDER: Wikimania 2013 - invitation to bid

[Adethya Sudarsanan]

Dear All,

It almost took me quite sometime to go through the mailers above.

I honestly go by what Ashwin says. I pretty much understand that India,
needs more local events to establish itself inside the country and then we
can aim to bring in Wikimania's.

If I may make a suggestion, I would like to say that, in future, the events
we organize can be aimed to conduct a Wikimania in India soil. Lets all
together aspire to create events which will ultimately make us ready to
organize a Wikimania in India.

I suggest we pitch in some SME (Subject Matter Experts) from different
industries and try to involve them in working with wikipedia as editors.
For E.g. we can have some one from IT companies to work on the technical
content placed in Wikipedia.. similarly ppl from varied industries can
involve themselves... we can also conduct local events centralized with the
industries... by doing so, we get more volunteers to participate and help
in team building :) in a year or two, this practice will make us sufficient
enough to conduct Wikimania's

Lets make Wikimania as an ultimate destination to reach and the local
events we organize (like GLAM, Workshops) etc can be minor milestones we
wish to reach.

Regards,
Ade.

[Ashwin Baindur]

Thank you all for your responses.

Thanks Pradeep for telling us that the bid was a placeholder bid. I
was not aware of that. Placing the placeholder was indeed a good
action, though of course, it would have been better if wider publicity
of placeholder being placed were given.

I'm personally happy to see Mumbai opting to build up local community
activities which it missed out last year due to their full and
tremendous commitment to WikiConference 2011. Mumbai Community has
been doing great events and they have a wonderful line up including
GLAM.

I'm of the opinion that the Delhi bid be discarded prima facie and as
Mumbai has clarified its stance, Arjuna Rao Chawala, as Chapter head
may like to confirm India's non-participation in contesting for
hosting Wikimania 2013.

Of course, if there are dissenting opinions please pitch in right away
as it may seem that I'm trying to rush through with this issue, which
is not the case.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

hi,

I missed this line in my last email: I concurr with what Ashwin has said.

I think we must aim towards making WikiConference India as good as and
perhaps better than Wikimania before we seriously put in a bid for
Wikimania.
