Bangalore Meetup on Saturday- leaving at 2:30
by Erik Moeller 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi folks, Unfortunately my flight out of Bangalore leaves at 520 on Saturday, so I am planning to leave the city around 230. The meetup on Saturday is currently scheduled for 3PM. I'd hate to miss all of it, so I hope some folks can make it early. I will plan to be there at 130 or so. This only affects me. Danese and Alolita will leave the next day. Hope to see you there, Erik

My guess is that arranging for the auditorium or, even an informal gathering place at a reasonably quick notice is difficult to do. There aren't many places at Pune where you can get together, sit around and then break off into smaller circles of discussion. Especially at that hour of the day. That said, the "classroom" did encourage the students (the newbie contributors) to speak up in familiar surroundings. So, it actually worked out fairly well although Erik and Danese ended up doing a bit of back and forth on moderating and queue-ing up the questions. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog> ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 22:58:14 +0530 From: Pradeep Mohandas <pradeep.mohandas(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimeetup 3 Pune photos To: wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Message-ID: <AANLkTi=oN8rv0RHvQrvAk95iL4+0o2SecRfHMkeSsq+g(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" hi, That was meant to be humorous but I guess no one got the point :).

Wikimeetup 3 Pune photos
by Ashwin Baindur 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Thanks Tinu, Sankarshan, for images of Pune Meetup 3. For those who attended, could we have a small brief (or even better a blog post) about what transpired for those who missed the meet? As of now, this is a problem. Meets dont get reported. People forget that the written report of what transpired is absolutely necessary for the community. A few uncaptioned photos or newspaper clippings are of no use. This is contrary to the Wikipedia spirit of free flow of information. Inadequate reporting of a Wikipedia meetup is a contradiction of sorts. Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------

Clarification Regarding Kiruba Shankar's Involvement
by Wikimedia India 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Date: 14 December 2010 Dear All: There has been some public confusion as to the nature and status of Mr. Kiruba Shankar's involvement with the Wikimedia India Chapter. This notice seeks to clarify that: - Mr. Kiruba Shankar was initially associated with efforts to set up a Wikimedia India Chapter. - He has publicly acknowledged that he is no longer involved with this Chapter via an email on the 12th of March 2010 because, in Mr. Shankar's words: “*There are times I overran myself in the assumption that Foundation formation time could happen sooner and assumed I'd be part of the board and hence a Director (designate) without realizing the really long gestation period it takes to set up the foudation *[sic]* or the confusion it would cause.*” [1]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2010-March/000476.html> - However, this confusion has persisted and Mr. Shankar has, in the recent past, clarified that he is in no way associated with the Wikimedia India Chapter.[2]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2010-October/001059.h…> [3]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2010-October/001061.h…> - Sadly, it has come to our attention that he continues to make make unwarranted and patently false representations as to the nature of his association with the Wikimedia India Chapter. The most recent example being his visiting card that states that he is a Director of Wikimedia India, [4]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/attachments/20101210/…>when in fact no such position exists within the framework provided by the Memorandum of Association of the Wikimedia India Chapter.[5]<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India/MoA-ChapComVer> - When this was brought to his attention,[6]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2010-December/001402.…>Mr. Shankar responded to note that “ *I ran out of my present bunch of cards and since I had to travel to Lavasa for the INK conference, I had to pick my old bunch of unused cards because my new cards got delayed from the printers. I had consciously been striking out the position clearly on each of the cards ( attached are two photos of the entire bunch and a closeup of one such card) . I'm sorry that the card that your friend got missed out. If in doubt, you can check out with others (though your friend) that I consciously stuck it out.*”[7]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/attachments/20101210/…> [8]<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/attachments/20101210/…> Given the continued nature of the confusion and misrepresentation, we have been forced to issue Mr. Shankar notice to cease and desist from such activity.[9]<http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Public_Notice_regarding_Kiruba_Shankar%27s_Involve…> These notices have both been posted here: http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Announcements Yours faithfully, Wikimedia India EC

hi ! list

Hi all, Wow! It was a hell of a day seeing and meeting people at Redhat's office for wikipedia stuff. Quite a bit to share but need couple of things. Fortunately or unfortunately didn't have a camera so need photos to spice the post up, a hashtag if there is already one or something please lemme know. Whenever there are photos in the public domain of today's meet, one can expect a post in few hours (barring sleep hours, of course) . Unfortunately, unlike wikimedia not awake round-the-clock (citation :- http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/dec/131210-Erik-Moller-Wikipedia-Pune.htm) :) I may also do couple of follow-ups as there were lots of things swirling in my head but there were neither the time or the space to do it. Frankly, came to know for the first time there are other Idiots (pun on 3 Idiots please) like me who enjoy making a difference. So wiki on :) -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
