Sorry, was travelling all of last week and neglected to upload the presentation. (Arjuna's share was a good reminder).
It is finally up herehttp://www.slideshare.net/bishakhadatta/edit-by-edit-wikipedia-indic-languages-and-free-knowledge-creation?from=share_email_login2at slideshare - an adaptation of a presentation that Sue Gardner, executive director, Wikimedia Foundation made earlier this year.
I also showed videos of wikipedia editors and used thishttp://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/animations/growth/AnimationProjectsGrowthWp.html?canvas_width=1200&canvas_height=900beautiful animated visualization of Wikipedia's growth created by Erik Zachte.
Many of you shared suggestions and presentations with me offlist. I used these as talking points, although this is not evident from the presentation.
Thanks Bishakha

Dear all,
I am speaking at the Computer Society of India's annual convention on Friday in Mumbai in the ienterprise track. The programme is at: http://www.csi-2010.org/cnvntnprog.html
My presentation is tentatively titled: Edit by Edit: Wikipedia, Indic Languages and Free Knowledge Creation
I am working on this presentation this week, using WMF's decks which board members often use - and a pile of material from the newsletter (thanks again, all who worked on this - very very useful) and many emails that I've saved from this list.
If anyone has any thoughts that you feel it is important for me to include in my presentation, do email me offlist.
Cheers Bishakha
