Thanks for the ideas for the talk folks. I'll try my best to cover the topics you suggest and hope we can have a good discussion throughout the three day conference. Thanks for the warm welcome. As always, I'm excited to be visiting...and seeing you all.
Best, Barry

Barry,
In last Wikimania, Jimmy Wales gave a "Global Wikipedian of the year" award for the phenomenal work done in Khazak Wiki.

But, we couldn't learn in detail about their work.
Similarly, there will be many growing global Wikipedia communities that face challenges and yet do a great work.
From your experiences as a Global development officer, it will be useful for us to learn how they do it.
So, in essence, I would like your talk to be about growing globall communities. Not about Indian Wiki communities :)

Hi all, I'm really looking forward to Wikiconference India next week and
congrats in
advance to the organizers, who have put countless hours into the work of preparing this unprecedented gathering in India. The program committee invited me to do a talk on Sunday which is a great honor, thank you! I'd like to ask for your input on areas you would like me to focus on in
my
talk. I will have time set aside for discussion, but want to see if you have any particular interest areas that you'd like me to focus on. Thanks and see you on Friday! Barry
