Subject: Workshop during Quark 2013

Dear Sir,
Hope you are having a great day.
Foremost we would like to express our gratitude for the interest that
you have shown to our proposal.
We are aware of the Hackathon that was organized by Wikimedia during
Atmos at BITS Pilani- Hyderabad. We would like to have a workshop for
2 days which can be followed by a Hackathon on the third day. This
will ensure that students learn and then get to test their skills. It
would be an added incentive to the participants if Wikimedia could
provide certificates on completion of course.
The participants of the workshop will be highly enthusiastic
undergraduate science, technology and engineering students with keen
interest in programming and development. The course content and the
format of the workshop can be something that you deem fit for the
participants with the above mentioned qualifications.
We are expecting around 150 to 200 participants for the workshop.
Hence we feel 5 volunteers will be more than sufficient enough to
conduct the workshop. If you feel otherwise please let us know.
We are willing to provide for travel expenses of the volunteers from
Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore along with their accommodation during their
stay here for Quark 2013.
We would be happy to help you with any further queries.
Thanking you in anticipation for positive response at the earliest.
