 Hello and Good morning!

 If anyone is interested in attending this conference in December, please
 reach back to me.

 Hoping 3 Wikimedians  can attend this on behalf of User Group Sri Lanka.

 The conference is over the weekend, on the 2nd and 3rd.

 Thanks and regards,

 Hi Rehman -

 Thanks for your note. We’re looking for ideas about interesting local
 projects that might want to share with a global audience. We’ll have at
 least 120 people from more than 80 countries attending the Summit, so as
 much as we can learn about local initiatives involving digital media (with
 a special interest of mine in digital inclusion - i.e. marginalized or
 underrepresented communities).

 As someone working on a grassroots level, perhaps you or your colleagues
 might have suggestions for us on some of these initiatives. It could
 potentially be presented as a panel or a talk.

 Last time, we had a panel about how Wikimedia Philippines is helping
 promote linguistic diversity through Wikipedia. But maybe it is not
 necessarily the case in Sri Lanka.

 Really, we’re open to ideas on what you think might resonate with an
 international audience from your local perspective.

 Thanks,

 Eddie

 Hi Eddie,

 My apologies for the late reply, again. And thank you for your email.

 The conference sounds quite interesting, much like our own "Wikimania"
 conferences. May I ask though, how could we help enrich your conference?
 Anything in particular which your team would expect from us? I could then
 pass on the info to my colleagues and see if anyone else from the local
 Wikimedia group will be interested in joining. :)

 Looking forward to your reply.

 Thanks and regards,
 User:Rehman<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rehman>
