Hi Salmaan,
Thanks for the offer! Shiju is just waiting for a reply from Casey Browne
before we file the bug. Since we have formally asked, it would be
appropriate to wait for a while for the response.
As regards the name, there are now a large amount of activities, lists etc
communities, meet-ups etc coming up in India. We now need a finer level of
grading between Foundation, chapter and community driven ventures - hence we
are a little chary of appending "media" unless it is directly driven by or
associated with Chapter or Foundation. Secondly, events are of many types,
whereas we want a list specifically for the annual national conference and
perhaps other conferences in India, hence the need felt for the word
"conference".
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

I believe you need to file a bug for this Ashwin.
If you want, I can file
it for you and get someone to close the request.
Are you sure about the title? I would suggest something like
WikiIndia-events or Wikimediaindia-events list. So that it doesn't become
useless after the event and can be re-used for coordinating future events.
The naming convention for the list also depends on country codes and
previous naming convention, Wikimediaindia-events would be a sub-list of
Wikimediaindia-l.

Hi,
I'm user:AshLin, co-chair of the Working Group for a forthcoming
Wiki-conference in India in November 2011. I'm writing formally to you to
request for a list for that event; a request which you may have
already received informally from Shiju Alex.
The event will definitely be taking place on 18-20 November 2011 at
Mumbai and we have already requested Jimbo's presence at the event (as an
example of the event's firming up).
This is a joint venture between the Indian Chapter and the Indian
Wikimedia community and will henceforth be an annual feature. We were about
to start communications of the Working Group on a Google Group but community
members have asked if our email group can be hosted by the Foundation and be
a mailman list. If provided, it is planned to use this list for planning and
organising all national wikiconferences in India henceforth.
The advantages, we feel, are that the list and its archives will be
preserved and secure while the Foundation exists, ease of use & interface as
all of us are used to mailman lists for community communication to date and
that the future of the group will not be dependent upon Google policies.
We request that the list be named "WikiConference India", to
distinguish it from other types of WikiConferences such as the Wikimania
series.
Should other countries decide to have annual national conferences,
perhaps their lists could be named "WikiConference xxxx" (where xxxx is name
of the country) similarly.
Looking forward to a positive and early response so that we can begin
our organising activities.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur
