Hi, Both of us have submitted parts of the Report to WMF. We're working on a combined Report that will be made public. Pradeep Handheld On Mar 26, 2012 9:39 AM, "Bala Jeyaraman" <sodabottle(a)gmail.com> wrote:

1. Report - Pradeep has covered that. Lets not link this to wci 12. 2. Video - We got the dvds in Jan but had some trouble converting/uploading to Youtube, we are working on this and hope to close this asap.

Not just the report, nothing else, the promised footage, details, nothing hs been made public. As Bala said, (I know i wont volunteer again unless things change a lot). I agree. Participants maybe deterred by the sheer amount of effort required to get something on such a scale up and running.

But any call for WCI 2 is premature without thoroughly analysing WCI 1. We had a lot of short comings in the planning, organising and conduction of the event. Without doing some thorough analysis of what went wrong, what could have been done better and what should be avoided in the future. Lets please have a report and analyse how things could have been done better before we start talking about the next event. The first event was possible because of full time organisors and people pitching in because of the "have to make the first indian event a success" factor. I dont think that would happen next time. (I know i wont volunteer again unless things change a lot). So lets have the WCI i report published and analysed here before we start thinking about WCI 2. - Bala On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 8:56 AM, Srikanth Lakshmanan <srik.lak(a)gmail.com> wrote: On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 06:32, Tinu Cherian ( Wikimedia India) <tinucherian(a)wikimedia.in> wrote: In 2011, WikiConference India was held for the first time and turned out to be a landmark event. It was the largest Wikipedia conference in the world, ever held to date! Can we keep niceties aside and look at how the event was run / challenges faced by organizers (Includes chapter-OC coordination and a semi-public spat) and do a thorough discussion on the conference list before talking of any next steps for WCI 2012. Also there has been no report that has been made available public for the community. It is for the community's own good health, issues are ironed out even before there is *any* discussion on next WCI. It might be good for the chapter / IP to keep having a conference every year and showcase India story, but volunteers(including the "bootstrap team") who are interested in organizing must know what are the pain points in making a conference happen and the kind of support they would be getting from chapter / IP. Pranav / Pradeep,Can we have your conference OC report any sooner? -- Regards Srikanth.L _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

We have informed the list about the report as well as the video situation. Was anything else promised, please elaborate? To expand on the point of the Report. I have been having internet problems which have prevented working together on this report. We're hence having to work on the report turn by turn hence increasing the time needed to finish it. We hope to wrap things up by the end of this month. Also, to place on record, my eagerness to finish this report and move on from Wikimedia to other things. I will remain till I place the Report in public and answer any questions that may arise thereof.

Hi Mandar, I guess you are referring to the Videos of the 2011 Conference. It was answered earlier in this thread earlier http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2012-March/007738.html Btw I am not sure if all bold & large fonts are considered the same way as all capital letters. :) -TC On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 5:05 PM, Mandar Kulkarni <mvkulkarni23(a)yahoo.co.uk>wrote;wrote:

I didn't know the passion for continued volunteering for the Wikimedia movement was dependent on the availability of the videos of the WikiConference :P ( We should definitely add that as one of the key expectations for next Conference) The fact that those who didn't attend last time was their own personal choice again. No one can predict they will attend next Conference , not even all those who attended the conference last year. BTW Personally I would love to see the videos soon. I couldn't attend all the sessions :D -TC On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 12:11 AM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan < parakara.ghoda(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
