Maybe Nikhil Sheth (Schools project) can help - he was one of those who was behind the offline release I think.<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:36:10 +0530<br>From: ashwin.baindur@gmail.com<br>To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org<br>Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-mum] [Wikimedia-IN-PUN] Wiki India Conference<br><br>That is such a good idea. First of all we would need to see how many featured articles exist in each language and if they would fit in a DVD. OpenZIM would probably be the way to go. Do we have a list of sysops or pointsmen for each language Wikipedia? I think chapter was assembling this detail.<div>

Let's have a small core Fund Raising team that discusses the options<br>
for fund raising....and we post updates to all others once we agree on<br>
something.<br>
<br>
Would like to know:<br>
1. Is there a budget already?<br>
2. Will this be fully or partially funded by anyone.<br>
3. Are we raising funds for the Conference expenses or will we be<br>
raising funds for the Foundation. I have no views/preferences...just<br>
like to know so that when we approach possible sponsors we communicate<br>
correctly.<br>
<br>
The Starting Point should be:<br>
For The Conf Organising Committee to outline the schedule/programme<br>
and expected scale.<br>
I assume it is a 3 day Event<br>
<br>
Once we have that as a base document all other teams can get to work<br>
around that pale blue print.<br>
<br>
The Fund Raising Team will analyse all the fund raising opportunities<br>
around the programme and work from there.<br>
