Thanks all.
Just a silly thought but I was wondering if an informal regional umbrella organisation could be setup to make links between South Asian Wiki communities and to promote cooperation among South Asian chapters/user groups.. So far we have 2 chapters (India, Bangladesh) and two user group (Pakistan, Nepal). 

Indian chapter is doing great so we (other South Asian communities) can learn a lot from you guys.

My dear Indian fellows,

Namaste and As-salamu alaykum!

I would like to inform you guys that Wikimedia's Affiliation Committee has recently reviewed our application to become an approved Wikimedia user group and decided to give our planned user group the official recognition. However, we've not yet signed the user group agreement as we're still awaiting for it.

I would like to personally thanks Wikimedia Indian chapter and especially Karthik Nadar who has been very helpful and supporting throughout the process. 

We've plans to arrange many off wiki activities such as photo contests (WLM, Wikipedia Takes the City), and other public outreach events to publicise and promote Wiki movement in Pakistan. We're looking forward to co-ordinate, co-operate and work with your well organised Indian chapter.


With my warm regards, 

Saqib

On behalf of, 

Wikimedia Community User Group Paklistan
