WOW!!
I completely agree with Pavanja !!
Looks like this conference is some kind of secret mission!!
There is hardly any activity about it on the mailing list or even on wiki.
For no reason, secrecy is seen everywhere eg. Check the team page.
Asaf says, ad hoc attendance is discouraged. But without any disclosure of
the venue, such attendance is not going to happen at all !!
Where is the openness and trust that exist on Wikipedia reflected in the
conference??
Or possibly that 90+ lakhs budget amount is to be spent secretly !!
Ironically the theme of the conference is "Strengthening bonds" !! Looks
like there are very secret bonds to be developed there !!
Anyways, all the best wishes to the conference!!
Well, I was thinking of sending some press release to the media. Nothing
available about it on the conference website.

Hi, Pavanaja.
As the conference FAQ page[1] mentions, there will be no streaming, and
walk-in ad hoc attendance is discouraged.
Folks who have registered have received all the information.
As for documentation by participants, I'm sure that will begin to show up
once the conference proper begins (tomorrow morning).

Namaste,
Wkiconference India 2023 starts tomorrow. The home page is here -
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2023
I have many questions –
- Where the event is happening?
- If someone just wants to walk-in, where he/she should go?
- Sessions are listed. But no details. There could have been link to
the submissions so that we can know what are the details
- No mention of links to online streaming. No live streaming?
I just observed something peculiar about this event. Most details, for
ex., venue, are kept as secret. What is the necessity to do so? When I
travel to such events, I start posting in social media (FB, Insta, Twitter,
Whatsapp status) about the event, start posting photos from airport itself
till end of event. So far I did not see a single post about the event, the
venue, the goodies, the sessions, etc. What’s going on? Whether the
organisers have put a ban on such activities? If that is the case, then it
is totally against the philosophy of free knowledge and open society.
I am just wondering. I am sure many more also will be wondering.
Thanks and regards,
Pavanaja
