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.
