Greetings,
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Since 2023, preceding the WikiConference India 2023, we've been hosting
regular calls. Initially, these were WCI pre-conference calls, which later
evolved into post-WCI calls, and over time, these calls have aimed to unite
the South Asian community monthly for updates and discussions as the South
Asian Open Community Calls
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/South_Asia_Open_Community_Call>, are
hosted every month.
In an ongoing effort to tailor these calls to better suit the community's
needs, we've made various adjustments to the agenda, topics, moderators,
and more. With over 17 editions; it's the right time to gather feedback and
make changes for increased participation and belonging in the calls.
Hence, we will be taking the month of April for feedback/review. In which
we're launching a quick survey (5-7 minutes) to hear from you. Your
feedback, preferences, and suggestions will help shape future editions of
the call and ensure it remains a valuable forum for South Asian Communities.
Please take a moment to participate in the survey and forward the same to
as many community members as possible:

*PS: We will not be hosting an edition of the South Asia Open Community
Call in April, and the next one will be on the 19th of May, 2024 where we
are already working on a special agenda. *
Thank you for your continued support and engagement!
Regards,
Nitesh and Nivas
