Dear all,
Just wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming Mumbai meetup on Sunday,February 13, 2011 at 4:00 pm tentatively at VJTI (venue to be confirmed),details of which are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Mumbai/Mumbai7
Liam Wyatt http://www.wittylama.com/, a longstanding wikipedian who is visiting India for a week, will be the featured speaker at this meetup.
More about Liam in his own words:
"I am the Wikimedia Foundation’s Cultural Partnerships Fellowhttp://bit.ly/GLAMfellow(aka GLAM fellow), based in Sydney. My username everywhere is “Witty lama”
- an anagram. I speak French and Swedish, have three highly prized yellow
shirts http://www.arc.unsw.edu.au/Yellow-Shirts-53.aspx, a bachelors in Globalisation Studies and one highly prized university medalhttp://wittylama.com/thesis. In former lives I have been Vice President of Wikimedia Australiahttp://wikimedia.org.au/and the “Wikipedian in Residence http://www.wittylama.com/2010/03/the-british-museum-and-me/” at the British Museum. Also, a project officer at Austliihttp://www.austlii.edu.au/austlii/and multimedia coordinator at the Dictionary of Sydneyhttp://www.dictionaryofsydney.org/www/html/51-project-teams.asp, a historian, podcaster http://wikipediaweekly.org/, fire-twirlerhttp://www.circusoc.com/, museuophile, snowboarder, förman http://www.ostgota.nu/, bartender and backpacker."
Liam's visit to India is intended to support wikimedia communities to explore the possibilities of collaborating with Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) in strengthening articles/image collections on wikipedia/wikimedia commons. From Mumbai, he moves on to Delhi and Bangalore.
At the meetup, Sanjay Bhangar will also do a short presentation on the Public Access Digital Media Archive (http://pad.ma) - which is an open source video archive. His presentation will touch on a technical overview, licencing, uploading video etc. Look forward to your presence and active participation at this meetup. Liam is really keen to meet as many fellow wikimedians as possible, so it would be great if you could be there.
Best Bishakha
