Dear All,
There is a point that needs your urgent attention. We intend to invite Jimmy Wales for the
WikiConference Mumbai proposes to host later this year. What are your thoughts on this? If
we want to invite him we need to lock the conference dates ASAP so we can send him an
invite. We understand his diary gets filled several months in advance hence the urgency.
At Mumbai Meetup IX we discussed *5,6,7 November* *2011* (Saturday Sunday + Monday (Eid
Bank Holiday)) as good dates as the criteria we had was a 3 day conference during a long
weekend so that maximum people can attend. Can you please let us know if these dates are
good with all of you.
Details are due to be discussed at the Pune Meetup (our co-hosts) scheduled for 14 May
2011. There will be a Mumbai Meetup thereafter to take Mumbai Wikipedians into confidence
on the details worked out/to take whatever decisions need to be taken at that point
possibly on 21 May 2011 - an email will be sent in due course confirming the Mumbai date.
All are requested to attend at least the Mumbai Meetup (if possible to Pune Meetup as
well). This is a major event and all Mumbai Wikipedians are encouraged to take part in the
organisation. We need to set a benchmark for others as this in probability if things work
out would be instituted as an annual event will rotational hosts.
