We held our first WikiAcademy in Mumbai on
October 1, 2011 at the Center
for
Education and Documentation, Colaba. The session
was attended by 24
attendees.
Thanks Pradeep. Seems like it was very well attended and useful to them
too.
Just to add to it: in the round of introductions, several of the attendees
were from NGOs, including our hosts, CED; we had people coming in from Pune
to attend, and most encouraging we had one Wikipedian, User:Outofindia, who
flew in from Mangalore! Other attendees were journalists and educators, plus
one architect. It was a well balanced gender mix.
Another WikiAcademy is planned for Oct 15 in north Mumbai: I believe we need
a show of hands (ie experienced Wikipedia volunteers) to come and assist
with the actual conduct of the session, as neither Pradeep nor Pranav will
be able to attend. Rather than do this onlist, I think it best that
volunteers contact Harshita Pande directly.
Might you consider posting this to
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Specific_segment_outreach#Events please? With
photos, if you have, any?
Many pictures were taken, and I think they are with CED. Maybe we can
encourage CEDians (who will probably be on this list now) to please upload
the pics to commons? Sans tagging, of course.
Thank you.
Best,
Gautam
