Minutes of WikiMeet Mumbai 21 May 2011 held at office of Pinstorm, Santacruz:
1. Hisham gave a presentation on the Campus Ambassador program pilot that was much discussed. 2. Was decided to write to chapter Executive Committee as to what is exactly required of them (Has been done) 3. We had written to Jimbo asking him to pencil us in his diary for the said dates of the WikiConference - an event in the UK has beat us to that. It was discussed that it is very important to have him around as it is the first Indian National WikiConference. An email will be sent to him in the next few days with other possible dates (other weekends in November) 4a. It was felt important that to move forward we need an Event Organising Committee for the WikiConference. Whoever is interested in being on the OC or any of the sub-committees, kindly write to the Mumbai list (wikimedia-in-mum@lists.wikimedia.org). Kindly note we are not looking for people who just lend their names but people who will actually come forward and put in time and effort in the entire 6 month preceding period. 4b. Sub-Committees suggested:
•Conference Programming (Includes Themes, Tracks, Keynote Speakers and Scheduling)
