hi,
Creative Commons is visiting India and was interested in working with the Wikimedia India Chapter since the Wikimedia projects are the largest users of the Creative Commons copyright license in India. We've worked with them over the past month or so to hold meetings in Pune (February 15 and 16), Mumbai (February 17), New Delhi (February 20) and Bengaluru (February 25).
The details of their visit can be found here - http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Events/Creative_Commons
warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

Hi Guys,
Just a suggestion on Ashwin's Request - Can we explore a Hangout Session
which could be live streamed on Youtube since internet availability should
not be an issue at SICSR & IIT Mumbai atleast. And we would not require
high resolution cameras!
Please ad in your views
Regards
Manan Shah

Hello everyone,
The 21st Wikipedia meet-up in Mumbai has been scheduled. Lane Rasberry,
Wikipedian in Residence at Consumer Reports, NY, will be present at the
meet.
Apologies for the short notice.
*Date and Time*: 3 February 2013, 4 pm
*Venue*: Pinstorm, Swati Building, North Avenue, Santacruz West, Mumbai
*Landmarks*: Swati building is behind Kotak Mahindra Bank, Linking Road,
and across the street from Arya Samaj Mandir.
*Wikipedia event page*: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup
/Mumbai/Mumbai21<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Mumbai/Mumbai20>
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.*
