Thanks Srikanth for the clarification. <div><br></div><div>&lt;chapter hat&gt;</div><div>The India Chapter is here to serve the community. It makes no distinction between chapter or (other) community members in these efforts. AFAIK, Naveen had told RSrikanth that his travel expenses ( related to NITT) will be reimbursed by the chapter ( Before his travel &amp; after). There was no reason why he had a different thought. If any chapter member has told you differently, it is his personal view and not the chapter&#39;s . </div>

<div><br></div><div>Everyone is free to join the chapter as member or not. But regardless of whether you are a member or not, we will support you in your Wikimedia activities in the best efforts we can and the limited resources we have. </div>

<div><br></div><div>&lt;/chapter hat&gt;</div><div><br></div><div>&lt;personal cap&gt;</div><div>I think this thread has gone too far with unnecessary &amp; off-topic discussions, personal attacks  .. While I stand by my personal views expressed in this thread, the tone used by me wasn&#39;t the best of me. I think I got a bit carried by the emotions and heat in this discussion.  Please understand that there was nothing personal, but I was just standing up for the values and philosophies that I personally believe in.  If I have unknowingly &amp; unintentionally hurt anyone through my words, I express my deepest apologies..</div>

<div>&lt;personal cap&gt;</div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy your weekend. For those in Bangalore, Don&#39;t forget to come for the monthly meetup tomorrow. :)</div><div><br></div><div>-TC</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>Okay, so the person who blasted me about Trichy caught me on this one too.<br></div><div>Let me clarify.</div><div>Tinu, I know the Chapter has been supportive of my actions even though I&#39;m not a member [yet]. </div>


<div>Naveen was more than ready to sign the MoU much before I informed Nitika.</div><div>I am NOT claiming travel amount from the Chapter as I feel there is NO justification in me claiming INR 395 [275+120 Kovai-Tiruchi-Kovai], from a Voluntary Non profit organisation, especially when I made so many mistakes and errors before, after and during the T&#39;palli event.</div>


<div>The India Chapter has always been supportive of the Community, whether they&#39;re members or not.</div><div>Naveen, as an EC member of the Chapter was the first person to offer support to me for setting up the Coimbatore community.</div>


<div>Apart from this, the India Chapter has been the only body [in India, the Chair of the UK chapter offered his support] that has supported me for my QR Pedia ideas.</div><div>I hope this clarifies everything.</div><div>
