Hi guys,
Do we have people on this list from all the proposed Asian chapters? I know we have some, but I don't know if we have everyone. I wanted to follow up on how you guys are doing in establishing your chapters, and what we can do to help.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the message. I can introduce Vantharith Oum and Kimheng Sok to this mailing list. They are Cambodian Wikimedians, and I believe they will be interested in proposing a chapter.

The Wikimedia Bangladesh chapter was proposed a few months ago. Tanvir Rahman helped organize the effort, so he can give you the latest update about the progress of the chapter. I've copied him here ... not sure if he's in this mailing list.

All right: thanks for the follow-up from so many countries. :)
I'd like to invite everyone to list themselves on Meta. So far only countries with chapters are listed (and of which only Hong Kong, India, the Philippines and Taiwan left contact information), but proposed chapters and working groups can list themselves as well.
Thanks,
Josh

Hello,
I was not in the list, but now I have subscribed (thanks to Ragib bhai for the poke) and it is awaiting for moderators approval at the moment. According to the ChapCom Wikimedia Bangladesh is an existing chapter [1], but not yet established (board approval I mean). Hope we will get that real soon. :D
Feel free to ping me to know anything about it, or anything other you are interested. :)

Welcome Tanvir Rahman and Vantharith Oum to this list :)

Dear Wikimedia Asia Project Members,
Thanks, Deryck Chan for the welcome!
Greeting from Seoul, South Korea! This is Vantharith from Khmer Wikimedia Team. I was introduced by our fellow Wikipedian friend, Anirudh Bhatihttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sir_Nicholas_de_Mimsy-Porpingtonfrom India. And I'm glad to be here and look forward to work together sometime in the future.
Let me give a short intro to our Khmer language projects. We currently have 3 running projects:
- Khmer Wikipedia - Khmer Wiktionary - Khmer Wikibooks
Among the 3, Khmer Wikipedia is the biggest, while other 2 are almost inactive due to low contribution and user-base. Our Team, we don't have physical organization and structure - we are just a online community of like-minded volunteers who believe in the power of sharing free knowledge, esp. in our own native language.
We are making some noise online and we are still in the process of building offline network on the ground. We have hold few WikiMeetups in our capital Phnom Penh. But lately, our activity is low due to lack of human resource on the group. One of our lead team member moved to other city and while few others are too busy with their work.... so...
Anyway, now the ground in Phnom Penh, we have our Indian friend, Anirudh who is lending his hands in helping out with the outreach. In case any Wikipedians happen to visit Cambodia, esp. the capital, please let us know. So we can arrange a meetup and let you guys talk about anything relevant to Wikimedia, to inspire our youth here.
All for now and looking forward to working with everyone. And in case, I happen to travel any of Asia Project team country - will for sure let you know, so we can meet and talk!!!
Thank you and kind regards,

Welcome to the list, Tanvir Rahman and Vantharith Oum, and thank you for your report. As someone somewhere said, the existing chapters are also struggling w/ lack of resources, including manpower, and exhausted. We, no chapter though, at Wikimedians in Kansai are too.
Do not however let us lose hope: Let me cite an Asian classic - precisely, a Chinese one - "a travel of thousand miles begins from very a spot where your feet put on" （千里之行，**始于足下）. Our movement is rather still new, Asian chapters and yet-no-chapters are too, so be of cheers and do our current task, lookking forward seeing what we'll have in the next decade.
Cheers,

Hi Josh,
Since I'm remote from all due to health concerns, so not got involved by myself, but I heard someone (Tomo_Suzuki iirc) proposed Japanese chapter (on meta, probably). He was in Haifa, so you guys might see each other. I don't have his email address, but you can send him a wikimail.
