IIITB as a venue for Wikipedia 10th Anniversary ??
by Srikanta P 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi everybody, I know i'm dropping by at the last hour but I was going through the webpage of 10th anniversary and found out that IIITB has been considered as a potential venue. I saw the email thread where 2 venues have already given their confirmation in hosting the event. I'm a student at IIITB and if you are still in the planning stage, i can just check with our professors if we can host the anniversary event. As it has been discussed in the previous, our college is best suited for parallel talks (classrooms) and also a main talk at the audi. There are a bunch of enthusiastic students who are ready to volunteer. So that might help as well Let me know ASAP. Regards, Srikanta Student, PGDSD, IIIT-B 9880530243

The Jnana Jyothi Auditorium in Bangalore University, (Near Avenue Road) has a seating of 1200, I guess it would be available easily for such events. But one needs to approach the registrar, for that. Sometimes even they wave of the rent.

My preferences: 1 if we have funds. We should confirm availability soon. 3 seems to be a good middle ground. If we expect a good crowd and wouldn't mind the distance, I can vouch for the facilities at IIIT B. I can follow up on this if the majority votes for this. I am an alumnus. - Sundar Sent from Yahoo!

In terms of costs, is there any chance that UTC (http://www.utcbangalore.in/) has space for us? They are equally well located and apparently charge reasonable rates for the auditorium. I'm not sure how to check but Bangalore NGOs like ALF have had events there and might know. In terms of the other options. I'm not sure it makes sense to hold the event at a commercial firm (not an event like this at any rate). And from previous experience, I've found that the press doesn't easily make it to events held outside central Bangalore. However, this is just my personal opinion, I don't mean to be demanding :) >> Thank you. >> >> Best, >> >> Gautam >> ________ >> http://social.prathambooks.org/ >> >>

I called Chowdiah just to check charges - 65K for the full day on weekdays, 85K for weekends, so no go it seems (at this price, Mother Tekla would be a better bet). One thing about the TERI space that needs to be brought to their attention is that the toilets smell a little - affecting the main auditorium. The other thing about TERI is that the whole upstairs space comes included in the package, and I think it could seat another 100 people quite comfortably (so that's something to consider). > Thank you. > > Best, > > Gautam > ________ > http://social.prathambooks.org/ >

Venue for Wiki X
by Srikanth Lakshmanan 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hi all, Time is running out and we need to quickly decide upon the venue for Wiki X event. Few options :- 1 ) TERI, near CIS can seat upto 100-150 will cost us 11.5 k. in the city but lesser Capacity, no seperate spaces for parallel tracks. 2 ) IIIT B, Electronic city - Huge auditorium can seat 300 and even more on other classrooms. Mostly might be free venue, IIITB students attending event and enthusiastic management but distance from city. 3 ) Intuit,Global village, ORR - Can seat upto 150-200 people mostly might be free, slightly out of city, but can attract "IT crowd". Please let the list know of your opinions for us to decide on it sooner. Sooner the better :) Thanks. Regards Srikanth.L http://srik.me
