Hi Srikanth,<div><br></div><div><div>Good initiative on securing presence at Carte Blanche. Agree, we need to participate in as many outreach events as possible.</div><div><br></div><div>You may want to consider requesting some Wikimedia promotional material to be shipped for the event from the foundation office.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please also list this on the <a href="http://wikimedia.in">wikimedia.in</a> page.</div><div><br></div><div>After discussing with the organizers do call out for any help or assistance you might need towards Carte Blance. Arjuna, Anirudh and Arun Ganesh ran stalls at Foss.in. They can give you some experiential pointers that may be of help for your event.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also let this list know how many volunteers you may need.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div>Arun</div><div> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 1:37 PM, Srikanth Lakshmanan <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:srik.lak@gmail.com">srik.lak@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

I have got a confirmation from Carte Blanche[1] for a stall and working with Wikipedians in Chennai for manning the stall on Feb 6. There is also a fossmeet at NIT Calicut[2] happening around the same time. Any Kerala / Malayalam wikipedians willing to take it up? We must also keep a watch on huge technical events at prominent colleges where we would be getting students from the particular region and having a stall there would give a reach to about 500-1000 Students(and/or general public).</div>
