Dear all,
Just wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming Mumbai meetup on

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
Fellow<http://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
medal<http://wittylama.com/thesis>is>.
In former lives I have been Vice President of Wikimedia
Australia<http://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
Austlii<http://www.austlii.edu.au/austlii/>and multimedia coordinator
at the Dictionary
of Sydney <http://www.dictionaryofsydney.org/www/html/51-project-teams.asp>, a
historian, podcaster <http://wikipediaweekly.org/>,
fire-twirler<http://www.circusoc.com/>m/>,
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
