Hi,
I am not so glad to see the huge grant for Wikiconference and the way it is spent.
With all due respect for the organising community and volunteers, more effort should have gone in getting donation in kind ( example: venues ) / commercial sponsors. That is how most of the events of this scale are run.
This is huge money if directly invested in resources for any Wikipedia project will give great meassurable results.

Hello Everyone:
I'd like to share two pieces of good news.

We are really hoping that Chapter members come forward to fill the
empty EC positions and actively participate in the functioning of the
EC and help the Chapter expand its reach and impact in India. Further,
we hope that community members also become members of the Chapter - an
FAQ is here: http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Membership-FAQ
Further, the process for nominations for the EC Elections have been
put up as well:
http://members.wikimedia.in/Executive_Committee_Elections_2011 [This
is a members only page.] We are grateful to the Nominations Committee:

We are also hoping that there is active participation in the
WikiConference India - this is our community Conference and it is up
to us to make it a success.
Best,
Gautam John
