Dear All

This is a sweet invite from the Malayalam community - and I thought I would add a few points about why it might be useful for non-Malayalam Wikimedians to attend.

The Malayalam community is one of India's largest Indic communities (with nearly 100 active editors.) It also has a wonderful history of community building and collaboration - and any non-Malayalam editor who attends this even would gain tremendously from hearing at first hand about their activities, which include (and I'm listing only a few here):

You will meet the Wikimedians who did all of this and be able to take back ideas for your own communities and projects.

You will find the Malayalam community incredibly friendly - and I am sure relationships that you build there will be useful when you return to your communities.

Best
