Can we stop this discussion about the Delhi chapter. It is heading nowhere.
India chapter is just started and it will take some time for it to
grow and reachout to other places.
Lets learn from their activities and mistakes/learnings. Lets have
some patience. There is enough time available for all to do various
activities like meetups, reachout sessions, ambassador programs etc.
(including launching another chapter.)
So, keep it cool guys!!

RE:Mayur - As I suggested, you could request the
Chapter to appoint a
regional committee (with certain autonomy, reporting directly to the EC).
This should solve all your issues. Can you please explain exactly how a new
chapter will help Delhi? Further I am sure your aware it took about 2 years
in getting the India Chapter sorted, it takes a lot of time effort and money
in dealing with bureaucracy in getting registered. By the time you have gone
through that you will be zapped - just whats happened in the India Chapter
case where they are now getting their bearings together. The guys have done
all the hard work, let us look forward. If you feel that you could do better
if you were part of the Chapter Executive Committee - stand for elections at
the next AGM!
Further, its unfair to say that the Chapter and foundation are not on your
side. For example, Anirudh, a member of the Chapter EC was on ground in
Delhi earlier this year organising Wikipedia X celebrations. The foundation
office is based in Delhi - how can you say that the Foundation has given
Delhi a pass? If you have this attitude in Delhi then just imagine what the
West or East of India should think - the Foundation is in the North and
Chapter in the South with the East and West squashed in between! Let us
remember we are part of the Union of India.
