Hi Folks
We conduct a monthly IRC on India Programs on the first Thursday of every month. I'm writing to invite you to attend tomorrow's IRC. I've scheduled it for 9pm IST - based on feedback I've gotten from the community when discussing this at the various meet-ups I've been attending that this time slot might be more convenient.
Something different that I thought we would do in the IRC tomorrow is to have some guests. Specifically, I wanted to invite Frank, Annie, PJ & Srikeit - all of who are supporting the Wikipedia India Education Program's Pune Pilot. Frank & Annie are with the Foundation. PJ is from the Campus Ambassador program in the US - and has offered to come down to Pune to support this initiative for just under the next 3 months. Srikeit is an existing Wikipedia and has offered to support the program for the next 1 year.
I thought it would be a great way of getting to know them and for you to interact with them and to discuss the (very early) signals that we would have on the program (given that we are starting formal outreach today.) We'd love to hear your views as well.
As always, we will also give a quick summary of India Programs and discuss any other issues you'd like to.
Do join us!
Best
