[Wikimediaindia-l] News from the Chapter and the Conference

[Gautam John]

Hello Everyone:

I'd like to share two pieces of good news.

1. The Chapter grant has been approved. More details here:

2. The Conference grant has also been approved. More details here:

We are really hoping that Chapter members come forward to fill the
empty EC positions and actively participate in the functioning of the
EC and help the Chapter expand its reach and impact in India. Further,
we hope that community members also become members of the Chapter - an
FAQ is here: http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Membership-FAQ

Further, the process for nominations for the EC Elections have been
put up as well:

is a members only page.] We are grateful to the Nominations Committee:

We are also hoping that there is active participation in the
WikiConference India - this is our community Conference and it is up
to us to make it a success.

Best,

Gautam John
