Thats great! Good to see some responses going.
For a start, i think we should chat up - Abhijith, Tausif and
Rahmanuddin. Let us decide on a comfortable time when we can connect over
Google+ or something. Would be great if we could do that over this weekend
itself (considering that it is a long weekend)
Post which, we can probably post our ideas to the group, after which we
can just start off.
Kindly suggest a time that would work best. Tomorrow evening would be
ideal for me, but ya, anything else in the normal holiday non-sleeping
hours (between 1100 and 0100 hours) should also be fine!
Cheers,
Raghavendra

Hi Raghavendra,
I suggest let us do the plan - chalk out our strategy and event
details - what/when/how; marketing strategy. And then we can approach the
media - my view is it is better to have all details chalked out, let me
know if you want to do a phone chat or may be meet up to discuss?
That's great idea Abhijith, but do focus on *why, *it would generate
long time contributors.

Hi Abhijith,
Was actually waiting to see if we would find any more people who would
be interested.
Anyways, as far as i can see, as a part of the plan, we will need to
chalk out the following for Hyderabad:
a) Have an overall framework ready - i am sure that would already be in
place, from wikimedians in other cities. We might just need to tweak it to
suit Hyderabad
Famework?? I was part of organising team for Wiki Takes Mumbai II,
hence I can share how we worked for our city, and hope it will also work in
your city.
b) Started spreading the word around. Was thinking we can involve
people who are couchsuring in Hyderabad to be a part of this. This will
really help increase the contributions since we do have a decent number of
travellers touring Hyderabad in this part of the year
You can start involving your friends. I suggest, Facebook is the best
way of word of mouth, and hence create a Facebook group for Hyderabad
Wikipedians, you'll get members count because of the work Wikipedia.
c) It will be great if there was a press release kind of a thing done
for the entire event as such from somewhere with atleast a mention of the
participating cities. Or, if it is fine, we can provide information to the
local editions/newsmen. However, for this, we will need the help and
participation of the official members of wikimedia (read, Karthik :-) )
I'll get back after talking to people from Wikimedia India Chapter.
They must be having contacts :)
d) We can start the event/contest off by having a small briefing
session during the first weekend of September. And if we are confident of
having a good turnout (or may be even otherwise), we can probably look at
conducting this at Lamakaan
It will be great if you have a meetup this August end, but early
September will also do. I'll try to attend if time permits :) My college
schedule must help tho, but would be excited to meet.
e) May be on the first and second weekends, we can organise - "Wiki
takes Hyderabad", and on the last weekend, again get together for any
queries that people have. I feel the meetings should be brief and to the
point, so that the maximum time can be spent in the primary purposing of
capturing pictures
I suggest meetup should also focus on how and why to upload images to
Commons? This is where people lack knowledge, and never participate hence.
How does this sound? Any suggestions/brickbats?
Wanna add one more: Try to talk to some photographic societies. Those
groups have senior and very high-esteemed photographers, they will be very
much interested. This is what we did for Mumbai.
@Karthik, can you let us know what you think?
Excited to coordinate with you all, hoping for great to happen and
see Hyderabad community expanding. Happy to be part :)
Raghavendra and Abhijhit, you both can take lead and can happen well.
Regards,
Raghavendra

Hi Rahgavendra,
nice to see Hyderabad community is interested for organising the
contest :) We would be happy to help you for whatever it takes for
organising such an event in your city.
Thanks!

Hi there
Just wanted to check if an organising team is already in place for
conducting this event in Hyd -
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_India
Thought it will be fun to publicise and rope in a lot of people too;
had some ideas about the same.
Kindly let me know

Raghavendra
