Dear Guests and Participants,
I would like to welcome you all to BlogFest.Asia 2012 on the behalf of the
Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Deutschland. We are very glad to have
this opportunity for outreach at BlogFest.Asia and are thankful that our
Cambodian friends and organizers were very willing to have us partake over
here.
The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit charity organization based in San
Francisco, California that operates Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and
other sister projects. The Wikipedia encyclopedia is the largest
encyclopedia in the world and is accessible online by anyone with an
Internet connection free of charge. The Wikimedia Foundation promotes the
use of free content around the world, and we encourage our readership to
give back to our community of editors and volunteers by sharing their time
and knowledge for the benefit of the entire world.
My colleague Vantharith Oum from Phnom Penh and I will be presenting the
Wikimedia point of view on 3 October 2012 to interested participants at
BlogFest.Asia. Please check the following link for the program schedule:
http://2012.blogfest.asia/program
The first session from 2.00pm to 3.30pm on 3 November 2012 will be in the
Khmer language and it will be hosted by Vantharith Oum. The second session
from 3.35pm to 4.35pm will be hosted by yours truly in the English
language. The aim of both the sessions will be to create awareness about
the Wikimedia universe and our online projects. We will also specifically
focus on using and contributing to the Wikimedia Commons, one of the
largest repositories of free licensed media around the world. Some of the
content of our workshop will also include discussions on copyrights, the
Public Domain, Creative Commons and other forms of free licensing.
*Since many of you will be visiting the ancient town of Angkor today, that
is, 2 November 2012, I would like to request you to please take as many
good pictures as possible from the perspective of uploading them to the
Wikimedia Commons later at our workshops. Your pictures may be utilized on
Wikipedia articles about the culture, heritage and history of Angkor and
Cambodia, and will potentially be accessed by hundreds of thousands (and
even millions) of people around the world.*
Please follow the link below to learn more about the process:

We will be around and available at BlogFest.Asia to meet and discuss with
you if you have any questions related to Wikimedia. We thank you for your
time and look forward to meeting you at BlogFest.Asia 2012!
Sincerely yours,
Anirudh Bhati
