hi Noopur,<br><br>Hope you're enjoying your time in Amsterdam. We expect a longer report on list after you return to India on GLAMcamp. :)<br><br>I totally agree with you that we need to reach-out more at college fests and events. I think an email was sent around on the list about participating in the Calcutta (still not used to writing Kolkata) Book Fair as well. I think it is best to let community members learn about, inform and participate in the events. If and when an organisational affiliation is required, I''m sure that the Chapter will be able to provide the same.<br>
<br>Hope some of the members in the Bombay community will take you up on your Mood Indigo offer. :) <br><br>User:Prad2609<br><br><div><hr>Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2011 13:30:18 +0100<br>From: <a href="mailto:noopur.raval@gmail.com" target="_blank">noopur.raval@gmail.com</a><br>

Hello! Sorry for inbox spamming :) Sitting in the GLAMcamp, I cannot stop thinking how our community is doing so much and not getting highlighted, especially all you Indic editors out there. Though I don't really "belong" to the Wiki-geeks group, I think an excellent way of outreach is GLAM events. They are simple to understand, easier to participate and fun things :)<div>
In response to Arnav's mail, I thought I'll put this idea on the table. I think fests like Footprints, or bigger fests such as Mood Indigo are excellent places to set a booth and do some outreach. We could have a photography event (which we call Wiki loves monuments) and get students to get us images. We already have rules for the event and we can arrange a small prize or swags. That way, you don't have to specially call people to places or events and same time we start smaller and have sure results. What we essentially need is a wiki-geek (or an experienced editor as you call it) and someone who can communicate the idea well. What do you guys think? I have friends at Mood Indigo and if Bombay people are willing to take me up on it, we can have a stall there too!</div>

</div></div><blockquote style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>Hello,<div><br></div><div>This is User:Rangilo_Gujarati here basically from Gujarat and now in Pune, am planning an outreach event most probably a workshop in MS University Baroda, Gujarat during their forthcoming technical festival <a href="http://www.msu-footprints.org/" target="_blank">Footprints</a>. Also am the Campus Ambassador for India Education Program too, I need some input from you guys.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The organizers of this event have basically no idea about what a community is or how WP works, since I ll be targeting newbies I am planning to start from Introduction to WP, then an editing session and main motto behind this would be to start an active community in Baroda or Gujarat and get the contributors to EN and GU WP and commons too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now the organizers are asking few questions like "Why anyone should attend it?", "What would be the exclusivity of the workshop?", "How can we (university and attendees) be benefited from this?". They are worried too much about "exclusivity", how to convince them that these type of sessions are some thing more than "exclusively in Footprints", "first time in gujarat" ??</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since I have no experience in conducting an outreach workshop independently I want your feedback on it, and what possibly should I answer them?.</div><div><br></div><div>Please do reply with your valuable suggestions/critics.</div>
