Hi Ali, I can make 4 pm work, thank you. (Robi asked to move my meeting to the afternoon, I will see if they can find another time because the meetup is important.)
Yes they may not be willing to participate together, I will reach out to each of them and see. I'm new enough at WMF to try everything :-)
Please also see my last two replies for more thoughts on the subject. I'm still getting used to the Wikimedia mailing list format, I hope I'm doing it right...
Thanks!
Carolynne

Hi Carolynne, We are planning to organize the press event from 4 pm followed by the Wikimeetup & get together. It would be nice if Banglalink joins the event. You may also arrange a contact with their team. However, we are not sure if a joint event with multiple carriers would be possible or not because they might have different roll out plan.
Cheers

Hello Munir and Ali, both the press event and wikimeetup sound fantastic.
Do you know the Banglalink team? I can help in arranging. What time are you thinking?
We are working with multiple carriers. It is unusual, but I'm wondering
if
we could do a press event with all of them, if they are willing. I don't know if they will agree -- actually it is unlikely given their
competitive
position. But I want to try because it would be true to the mission, focusing on education and knowledge for the people of Bangladesh. I have
no
idea if it's possible, but I will ask them.
Since I don't yet know all of you, I don't know your relationship with
the
carriers. Please excuse me if I'm on the wrong track. And please let me know :-)
Thanks!

That's a very good idea Munir Vai. So, we should announce a Wikimeetup (Wikimeetup Dhaka 16) on November 13 right now so that more interested Wikimedians can join. What do you think?

Thank you Carolynne.
We would like to organize a press-event (Meet the press) with you .
This
will be for an hour or so. We will also invite the local wikipedian
after
the press event for a meetup with you. If you agree.
Both event will be in same venue.
We will try to settle with Banglalink regarding zerowiki. However, if
they
won't agree for a press event, we will do a simple meet the press
event
where you will share some of the global target and experience of
wikipedia
project and we will share our plan and activities from WMBD.
Please share your idea in this regard so that we can proceed with the logistics arrangement.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your enthusiastic support! (And
I'm
sorry for my delay in replying, was out of the office much of
yesterday.)
I will put language support top of my list to address with the
carriers.
Our goal is to have them provide free access to all Wikipedia
languages
and all Wikimedia projects. There are a few carriers who only give
free
access to zero.wikipedia.org aimed at feature phones on 2G networks.
We
are working on product solutions to make a better user experience
through
m.wikipedia.org even on 2G networks. This is a work in progress.
Many thanks to those of you who want to meet. I am open on Nov 13 any time after 3 pm. How can we best organize this?
I have to tell you, I am so excited about my trip to Dhaka. I am
thrilled
to work with the Bangladeshi community. We can create a great model
for how
Wikipedia Zero can engage with the more advanced local communities,
to
support the organic movement.
Thank you again
Carolynne

প্রিয় সবাই, গতকাল ১লা নভেম্বর উইকিমিডিয়া বাংলাদেশের আয়োজনে ১৫ তম ঢাকা উইকিমিটআপ আয়োজিত হয়েছে। ঢাকার পাবলিক লাইব্রেরি অডিটোরিয়ামের সামনের চত্বরে
উইকিপিডিয়ানদের
এবারের মিটআপ বসে এবং এতে ১২ জনেরও বেশি নতুন ও পুরোনো উইকিমিডিয়ান অংশ
নেন।
এই মিটআপে শুধুমাত্র উইকিমিটআপের জন্য তৈরি করা আমাদের চমৎকার নতুন ব্যানারেরও উদ্বোধন করা হয়েছে। আয়োজনের শুরুতে উইকিমিডিয়ানদের সাথে পরিচিতি পর্ব
শেষে
উইকিপিডিয়ার সাথে সবার পরিচয় কিভাবে হল সে কথা আমরা সবার কাছ থেকে
শুনি।
এরপর উইকিপিডিয়া ও বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার শুরু দিককার কিছু কথা তুলে ধরেন
উইকিমিডিয়া
বাংলাদেশের কোষাধ্যক্ষ আলী হায়দার খান তন্ময়। উইকিপিডিয়ার কারিগরি
দিকগুলোতে
কিভাবে অবদান রাখা যায় এ ব্যাপারে আলোচনা করেন উইকিমিডিয়া বাংলাদেশের নিবার্হী কমিটির সদস্য নাসির খান সৈকত। এছাড়া উইকিপিডিয়া সম্পর্কে
আলোচনায়
অংশ নেন তানভির মোর্শেদ (উইকিমিডিয়া বাংলাদেশের নিবার্হী কমিটির
সদস্য),
নুরুন্নবী চৌধুরী হাছিব (বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার প্রশাসক) ও অন্যন্য উইকিপিডিয়ানগন। এবারের মিটআপে অন্যান্যদের মধ্যে উপস্থিত ছিলেন উইকিপিডিয়ান সুফি,
আরিফ,
আফজাল, তৌকির, ফজলুল আজিম সহ আরো অনেকে।
উইকিমিডিয়া বাংলাদেশের নিয়মিত আয়োজনের অংশ হিসেবে আগামী ডিসেম্বর মাসেও
আমরা
১৬ তম ঢাকা মিটআপের আয়োজন করবো এবং শিঘ্রই এ সংক্রান্ত ঘোষণা দেয়া হবে।
আশা
করছি আপনারা সবাই এতে অংশ নেবেন।

Hello Everyone.
Sorry for joining a little late. Schedule got busy lately.
Idea of press event sounds great! I ditto with Carolynne, due to highly competitive position in market, joint press event sounds distant from possibility. But in fact we can shift this limitation to a powerful advantage. If we can manage a fairly good coverage in the media with Banglalink, glorifying their nobility and social responsibility by supporting our cause, I guess the other competitors will launch their services sooner than later, just to catch up.
We can take Facebook Zero as an example. GP has started this service for a long time. but due to lack of proper promotion, this message didn't reached to the mass until recently. And when it did, Banglalink also started the same service just a few weeks back.
So, let's rock the press event!
Best, --- Shabab Mustafa
Forgot to mention, Banglalink has started pushing out service alerts to it's subscribers. I received a SMS on my Banglalink number (on 27th and again today) says-

Contacted to a Specialist, Strategy & Projects, CEX of Grameenphone. GP Confirmed that, they DIN'T launch any Zero access for Wikipedia. If there is something, GP is not liable for its better or worse services.
