Hello everyone,
Mr. Vishnu from CIS is planning to come down to Chennai on Feb 26, 27,
2013.
It would be great if Wikipedians from in & around Chennai (or anywhere) can
have an informal chat with him in person. . .
Vishnu pointed our already that a few Wikipedians from Chennai have already
said "Yes" to him, through other means. Please let me know if anyone else
from Chennai is interested to meet him?
Thanks in advance,
Ade. S
Forwarding to all city lists for those interested in volunteering
for Wiki Loves Monuments 2013.

hi,
While looking up on Wiki Loves Public Art, I noticed that the wiki
page for WLM 2013 is also up. I saw India's name missing in the list of
participating countries and was bold enough to add our name there.
It
would be awesome to make WLM 2013 more bigger and more collaborative
than 2012. If you're interested in being a part of the WLM 2013, please
sign up on this page -

warm regards,

Hi Adethya,
I've copied to Tamil Wikipedians' mailing list as well as the Chennai list. It'll be good to drop a note in Tamil Wikipedia Alamarathadi (Village Pump) too.

For this, I am trying to find Wikipedians in & around Chennai... I dont
know the exact mailing list for chennai.. so mailing our India list.
Please point me to the right list or reply back to me personally..

Thanks and regards,

Secretary, Wikimedia India Chapter.
Cross posting to reach mass, apologies if you have already read this!

*Dear all,*
*
*
*On the second anniversary of the Chapter, we made public our intention of
running our first fundraiser. Going ahead with the first phase of this
plan, we will be running a central site notice on the chapter website for a
period of two calendar months starting 1 February, 2013. In the second
phase of this plan, we aim to approach high networth individuals and
corporates in the month of March 2013. This will be done using personal and
professional networks of current and past EC members, staff, volunteers
among others.*
*
Suggestions, help and support from the community on what we can do to
ensure success of this fundraiser are welcome. Every drop counts :)
Donations can be made by Online Bank Transfer (NEFT/RTGS) or by sending us
a Cheque through snail mail. We are unable to accept card payments at this
current time. Link to the donation page on our website:
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Donate
Thanking you,
Executive Committee,
Wikimedia India.
*Reasoning* (From our public statement on 4 January, 2013)
A lot of people may ask why the chapter needs a fundraiser when it has
access to WMF funding. The answer is, we are still ineligible for FDC of
WMF (we hope to be eligible for the second round of funding in 2013) and
would need to rely on grants, spending of which is restricted by the WMF.
Since formation, the chapter has relied heavily on the Executive Committee
to take on the burden of running the show. In an ideal world, the EC would
like to take on the role of guiding the chapter rather than actually be
responsible for operations after two years of incorporation, which should
be best done by professionals rather than volunteers in their spare time.
The chapter has hired an employee (Sowmyan Tirumurti, our Executive
Manager) as well as plans to lease its own office premises in Bangalore. We
will need the help of those volunteers who are in a position to support us.
It could be a small individual donation or in the form of a corporate
donation from an institution. A small token of support from you could go a
long way in helping us achieving our goals of furthering the movement in
India.*

Dear all,
Metawings, an organization that holds soft skills
training workshops for students across colleges in India has offered us
a day to hold a _free _Wikipedia workshop on 17th December at SRM
University near Chenna. Over 60 students have registered so far. Here
are the details of the event:
VENUE: SRM University, Kattankulathur
Campus, Kanchipuram District, Tamilnadu- 603203
DATE AND TIME: 1:30 pm
- 1:30 pm, 17th Dec, 2012
I will be conducting the workshop. Of
course, everyone from the community is welcome to join in! Please do
reply with your suggestions for the event.
After this workshop, I
would be going over to IIT, Madras to meet a bunch of students who have
been editing and want to informally meet up and see what they can do
around Wikipedia in their college. Yuvi would be joining me for both.
Thank you,
Best
