Now that Jimbo has indicated that he may be available for the given dates,
we must move ASAP to take concrete steps to show our seriousness.
Since the Mumbai-Pune community has the highest level of preparedness, I
think encouraging other cities to prepare bids for this conference, at this
stage, will be counterproductive. It would be prudent to implement the
structure proposed by the chapter from next year and support the Mumbai-Pune
communities to pull off a successful first Wiki-conference.

Hi All,
As Pradeep announced late last night, Jimmy Wales (aka Jimbo, Founder,
Wikipedia and Member of Global Board of Trustees) was approached by the
Mumbai/Pune Community along with other supporters from various parts of the
country requesting him to attend the First National WikiConference in India
later this year.
*Late last night we received a response from Jimbo expressing
availability on 18-19-20 November 2011.* There is consensus among the
Mumbai/Pune Community that we reschedule the conference dates in order to
facilitate Jimbo's presence. I am sure the entire Indian Community (and the
Chapter) will be extremely pleased to host Jimbo for this event. This is a
big push for us now to go ahead with this benchmark event and do conduct it
in the best possible way.
Kind Regards,
