Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I am happy to be in this Wiki India Mailing List.... Before I could involve myself in the
community discussions on Wiki, please allow me to post some information about OpenCon
I hope many of you know that during our Wiki Conference at Chandigarh our friends Sailesh,
Abhinav, Kavya and others had organised OpenCon 2016 Chandigarh.
A similar satellite event of the main OpenCon 2016 conference would also be happening at
Ranchi in the month of November and the date is tentatively fixed as 12th Second Saturday.
And it is being organised by the Open Access India <http://openaccessindia.org/>
The probable venue would be Ranchi University. Still it was not confirmed but most
probably it would at Ranchi University.
You may visit the event site at
http://www.opencon2016.org/opencon_2016_ranchi and get
yourself registered at
https://opencon2016ranchi.sched.org/
I am not sure if any Wikipedians are in Ranchi. When we conducted Wikipedia 15 event at
Ranchi
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15/Events/Ranchi, I was not aware about
this mailing list and so we could not get Ranchi Wikipedians.
Now, I am sure some of you who are Ranchi or nearby may participate in the event and also
speak & share about Wikipedia as Open Educational Resources.
If not able to travel physically, you may also speak via Skye. hangouts or another web
tool.
I hope you would be supporting this satellite event as you did for the OpenCon 2016
Chandigarh.
See you
Thanks & Regards
Sridhar
