Hi Everybody,
In Nepal we are doing our activities i.e. outreach and some formal programs. We've done as much as three formal programs and in last June 3rd We celebrated our 10th Anniversary of Nepali Wikipedia.
We are regularly meeting and discussing about our programs. Now we're in process of forming a chapter.
We hope the Asian Chapters' community will help us to set up a chapter.
With Best Regards
Ganesh Paudel Nepal Chapter (Proposed)

I think there will be some impetus in the coming weeks to establish a Thailand chapter, or at least a Thai-Khmer-Lao one.

Perhaps I should be speaking here to share my experiences as a junior in college which had a hand in setting up a Wikimedia chapter: my parents have been particularly supportive of me traveling around and doing Wikipedia-related work (especially if it involves traveling outside the Philippines), and so I don't think parental "control" is a very big issue here if your parents understand that Wikimedia is a very big investment with potentially big returns, especially on your resumé!
I do think though that the time is ripe for other Asian chapters to help out developing communities in their own back yards. This was discussed in Berlin and Gdańsk back in 2010: in the case of Southeast Asia, for example, with Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore expressing interest to organize chapters, Wikimedia Philippines and Wikimedia Indonesia are in the best position to give support for these nascent communities. The same goes with Wikimedia Israel and the greater Middle East, Wikimedia Hong Kong and greater China, etc.
Now I don't think Wikimedia Philippines can facilitate accommodation for Wikipedians just yet, but we will do all that we can to take care of visiting Wikipedians, should any come our way. :)
Regards,
Josh

Greetings Wikimedia Asia member, I am G(x), the member of the planned Thai Wikimedia. Although I do interest and open for the possibilities of open discussion in Bangkok, I (and only me myself) do not yet to be able to travel freely to other countries, or even in Thailand or Bangkok itself due to parents' control, the education (as I'm a sophomore in the university in Thailand) and sufficient money that may cover the cost of the meeting. In the meantime, I would prefer to use the mailing list and/or private mail to discuss the matter involved the Wikimedia Asia (in particular, Thai Wikimedia)
