hi,
If there are any people in the group who edit this category of articles and
are from Mumbai, we'd love to meetup once before Liam comes to Mumbai.
I had suggested to Bishaka and Liam that doing something in the J J School
of Art made sense to get students interested. They know something about art
and can help with contributions. If you guys disagree or have a better place
for such a meetup do feel free to suggest it on the list.
warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

Dear wikimedians in Mumbai,
It's a pleasure to informally announce that Liam Wyatt (user wittylama)
will be in Mumbai 12-14 February as part of a longer visit to India to do
some GLAM work.
Liam recently became a Wikimedia Fellow -

As part of this, his 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 on
wikipedia of mutual interest.
Liam was the wikipedian in
residence<http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/07/10/the-royal-cup-bridge…
the British Museum last year - I attended his presentation on this at
Wikimania in July 2010 and was struck by the possibilities it threw up of
working with GLAM institutions.
We're extremely lucky to have Liam with us; how can we make his visit
productive for all?
I propose a meetup/workshop for sure; somewhere central so that more
wikipedians can attend - and so that representatives of GLAM institutions,
many of which are based in south Mumbai can also participate. (Maybe
something longer - so we can really learn from the experience...)
Cheers - and let's welcome Liam to Mumbai,
Bishakha
PS- The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2011 is also on in Mumbai when you are
here, Liam.
