I have noted on the talk page that this "event" appears to have been set up without much discussion. I would indeed even question the design of an event that precludes librarians who are outside the Wikimedia movement simply by requiring that one has a Wikimedia user name. Maybe Krishna can help some of us understand the process by which this event has been thought about?best wishesShyamal_______________________________________________On Sun, Nov 25, 2018 at 8:04 PM <pavanaja@vishvakannada.com> wrote:_______________________________________________We were under the impression that the closing date is Nov 27, 2018. That’s what was mentioned in the website. Just now only I saw that you have changed that to Nov 25th only yesterday.
Here is the history of that edit - https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TWLCon_(2019_India)&diff=prev&oldid=18645643
Two persons from Kravali Wikimedians User Group are planning to apply. They are still under the impression that the last date is Nov 27th.

Dear all,
I am happy to announce that the applications for "TWL Con (2019 India)"[1], a mini-conference around The Wikipedia Library (TWL)[2] and library outreach for Wikimedia projects in India are now open. Due to limited time, we're not able to spare much time for responses, kindly accept my apologies. The application period is 19–25 November 2018.
In brief about the event:
TWL helps active editors access reliable sources to improve Wikipedia. Among several other programs, it also helps knowledge professionals share their collections with the public. TWLCon (2019 India) is an upcoming conference to increase awareness about TWL to Wikimedians in India and discuss strategising TWL activities in India. This event has been primarily designed to understand the needs and document the insights from experienced Wikimedians about libraries/sources (references) in India. More about the event may be referred from the event page.
The application form is at: https://goo.gl/forms/NvwYttEeCFfl30rG3; last date 25 November 2018.
The event is to be held in the first or second weeks of Jan 2019 (tentative); Venue will be informed later.

Kindly let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks
