Hello all,
We are very pleased to announce the successful registration of the
Wikimedia Chapter vide Registrar of Societies, Bangalore Urban District

two long years with support from Achal Prabhala, Wikimedia Foundation

We would like to place on record the support by Centre for Internet and
Society, Bangalore, specially its director, Sunil Abraham for extending
their office support for chapter and community meetings and registration
support by its auditor Mr MN Rao. The efforts of Gautam John and Arun
Ramarathnam in working with registration authorities are appreciated.
We are delighted with this development, as Wikimedians all over world are
celebrating Wikipedia's Tenth anniversary this week. We have over 60 events
happening in
India(http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:India). At this
juncture, we would like to commit ourselves to taking Wikimedia Movement to

in India and all Indians by working with special focus on all Indian
languages including English.
With your active participation and support, Chapter can play a key role in
enabling access to free knowledge to everyone. In the next few weeks, you
will hear more actively from the Chapter on various initiatives. In the
