Re: [Wikimedia-in-blr] [Wikimediaindia-l] Updates about Wikimedia Foundation Community brand and marketing coordinator visit to India

Hello,
Thanks for your emails and comments.
Some notes:
Samir contacted CIS-A2K and CIS-A2K is directly co-ordinating the Bangalore
meet that is to be taken place on 21 April 2019. Samir also asked other
Wikimedians for suggestions.
For Delhi and Patiala event please contact Samir (selsharbaty(a)wikimedia.org
).
Event page link:

CIS is also providing support for a venue in Delhi, and I am will help in
the venue in Delhi.
For Bangalore meet support contact me. (gopala(a)cis-india.org)

Following the interesting discussion in the mailing list, we would like to
invite interested Wikimedians in India to attend the Bangalore event,
organised by CIS, on 21 April 2019. If you are an active Wikimedian from
India, and want to join the survey, please email to gopala(a)cis-india.org
 and tito(a)cis-india.org (please send to both) and write in brief the
topics/a few questions related to rebranding and strategy you want to
discuss in the meet.

We are also in the process of arranging hangout calls for more community
input. We will give updates about the online call.

  In line with Bodhi's comments,

 I feel that there are several other communities which have been left out
 in this consultation process. I completely understand that CIS-A2K is
 trying to accommodate their best to represent all the voices, but it would
 be even better to include the "major" communities and movement affiliates.
 I know it is too late to change Samir's plan, but it would be great if
 CIS-A2K can support representatives from certain communities to participate
 in-person and voice their opinion about the branding strategy. Physically
 participating can have much more impact than a remote call.

 All Wikimedians from Northern Indian can easily come to Delhi, and South
 ones Bengaluru. At least, if you think 18th is too close, 21st in Bengaluru
 can be a good option to invite some experienced Wikimedians (say five
 people from communities those which haven't been consulted).

 I think it is a fair decision to make.

 Best,
 Krishna

  Hi Gopala,

 Thanks for the quick response. It would be great if it is possible for
 you to create a Doodle poll or similar for the online meeting.

  Hi Gopal,

 Thanks for the information.

 Is it possible for other user groups and communities to provide him
 feedback somehow? If it is not possible to change the schedule in the last
 moment and bring him to some other places like Kolkata, is it possible to
 have an online session with user group and community representatives?

 If it is somehow possible, then please make it happen as West Bengal
 Wikimedians have definitely some concern on the branding proposal which
 needs to be addressed.

 Regards,
 Bodhisattwa
