Hi,
MediaNama is hosting a technology/policy mixer in Colombo on the 1st of March
2019, and it would be great if some of you could join us. We're still in the
process of finalizing a venue, but it will be around the Fort/Galle Face area,
and at 6 PM.
It would be great if you could drop in a line of confirmation to let us know
that you can make it. Please copy my colleague Harneet (harneet(a)medianama.com)
in your replies.
Just by way of an introduction, MediaNama reports on technology policy, and has
so far mostly been focused on India; I've been covering this space for about 12
years, and have also been involved in helping initiate policy changes in India:
from free speech to Net Neutrality issues.
Looking forward to meeting you :)
regards, Nikhil

Hello Abhinav,
Thank you for your email. It's nice to hear from you again.
I'm copying our mailing list in this email. I'm sure someone interested in this subject would be pleased to reach back to you.
Do you have a on-wiki page for this? I could also try to refer it onsite for a wider audience.
Best wishes.
Yours truly,

Dear Rehman,
My Name is Abhinav Srivastava with User ID: Abhinav619. I was previously with Wikimedia India and we met at Wiki Conference India in Chandigarh.
I am happy to inform you that UNESCO Delhi Office is hosting a women-edit-a-thon this women's day on 8th March. This Delhi Office is, in fact, a SAARC Office having coverage across Srilanka, Bhutan, Maldives etc.
We in India also wish to make it a workshop recognizing Women from SAARC and not just India. We seek your assistance on the following.
(a) A Small Potential List of Women Biographies From Sri Lanka which you could suggest. They should not be present on any Wikipedia.
(a) UNESCO similar to Paris experience (slides attached) wants to put four women posters (2 India, 1 Bhutan, 1 Sri Lanka). Happy to have suggestions here.
Please share this mail with the wider Wikimedia Community from Sri Lanka. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Abhinav
