Dear Kimheng and other Khmer Wikipedians,
I'm attending #WikiWomen Camp in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The 3-day event really helps me see the potential activities related to Wikipedia that can happen in the next months or years in Cambodia.
I really appreciate the work that has been done by Vantharith and the rest of the Khmer Wikipedian members.
At the workshop here involves women from all over the world, and they talk about the participation of women in Wikimedia movement. From 9-10% of the Wikipedia contributors are female. That clearly means that there is a lake of female participation -- not to mention the male involvement in our country.
My friends from journalism school (journalism students) and I will*organize an informal meet-up on one of the weekends *: "*Wikipedia takes Phnom Penh*". We invite friends who have cameras and laptops to meet at one cafe. There will probably be around 20 of us to join. Please join us if you're in Phnom Penh. Its informal and it won't be anything serious, lots of fun involved.
The reason why we're doing is that we want to increase the number of pictures taken in Phnom Penh in the Wiki Commons. At the same time, we'll help increase articles about Phnom Penh on English as well as Khmer Wikipedia.
This is just a call to other Wikipedians in town who are interested to join. ;-)

Since we have not received a sufficient response, Anirudh has asked me to reschedule this meeting on the next weekend.

Hi Sok Lak,
As mentioned in the previous emails, the agenda will be about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
Most of the wiki pages about Cambodia are written either by foreigners or non-residents Cambodians (who live in foreign countries right now).
So it is time to engage a community of Cambodian users to contribute to the wiki content about Cambodia or other Wikimedia projects that Anirudh will suggest in the meeting.
I hope this link can help you find HackerSpace in Phnom Penh, which is close to Tuol Tumpoung market: http://www.hackerspacepp.org/find-contact-hackerspacepp/
See you soon, Sok Lak

Hello Wikimedians!
I'm trying to get together a small meeting of dedicated Wikimedia users, contributors and enthusiasts at Hackerspace Phnom Penh on Sunday, 9 October 2011. I would really appreciate it if Wikimedians who are interested in building a local community come together and help me with this endeavour, so that we may have regular meet-ups in our city.
If you are interested in being a part of this effort, please respond as soon as possible. As of now, I am undecided on the time, but will go by what is most convenient to the participants.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me by email or call me at the phone number provided in the signature of this email. Looking forward to responses by interested participants.
Yours sincerely,
Anirudh Bhati
