This conference is our first attempt to invite and host selected members
from other Indian Wikipedia communities. We are planning to invite our
friends and well-wishers from most of all active Indic language wiki
communities in India to this most auspicious occasion hosted by Bengali
Wikimedia community! We are also planning to arrange few 30 scholarships
for non-Bengali Indic Wikimedians who are interested in participating in
this event. With all these, we expect coming year’s conference shall
become the largest outreach program any Indian wiki community have ever
attempted.
As a part of Conference, we are organizing edit-a-thons, a conference of
students interested in Wikimedia projects, a meetup of youth interested in
Wikimedia projects, photography contest and Workshop/Hackathon.
We cordially invite you to participate in Conference to share your
experiences, to connect with your peers and create partnerships thereby
