Hi Jayantilal,
Your suggestions are valid but not your accusations.
Please note that every board member who have served the board will deserve a great salute from me for spending their volunteer time and so Srikanth does. I'm sure the current EC will also agree though its been just 4-5 months. It's not a easy task. Also note that Srikanth has given some splendid contributions to the movement. He is that person who will just walk for whole day on road to upload toll and images on buses to Commons.
Everyone has right to quit as well for their own reasons with the approval of the board. I think as now we have a new board, its time to support them and the movement in India.
He along with his 2 friends (also Ex EC members) strategically stepped down from the EC on the face of the previous elections and wanted to dissolve the WMIN Chapter. Thanks to people like Viswa, Sudhanwa, Jayanta, Ekbal & Nikita who saved the chapter at that time.I also suggest everyone to not entertain people like Srikanth on this list.Hello WMIN & WLF team,I can help you with few names.
I suggest you to involve people from other communities who have organized such events earlier.
Ravishankar from Tamil Community
Naveen Francis and Kartik Nadar from Wiki Loves Monument.
Shantanu Chandra from Bengali Community.
Biswarup Ganguly who has 25000 plus edits on Commons.
Srikanth has no interest in Wikimedia India Chapter and that's why he resigned from the EC.
He left the chapter in crisis. I still remember the thread "WMIN EC in Minority" which Srikanth started on the mailing list. (You can check the archives and you'll get to know what I'm talking about)Good luck for the event.Best Wishes,JayantilalOn Sat, Apr 18, 2015 at 12:12 AM, Sanket Oswal <sankoswal@gmail.com> wrote:I don't see any harm if the organizers of the event calls one of the volunteers. Also, you should understand that this is a community led event & we would want the volunteers to initiate discussions in their respective language groups.Regarding your question about why Wikimedia India is concerned, I suggest you to check the word 'India' in Wikimedia India. As a chapter of India, WMIN has a focus to involve each and every language community.Hi Dhaval,We apologize for not responding on your query on commons. If you see the history on the discussion page, each and every question has been answered by some or the other volunteer for WLF. I don't know how we missed it.Thanks,Sanket OswalOn Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 8:40 PM, Arun Ramarathnam <arunram25@gmail.com> wrote:I also concur that the prize money should be token for a pilot with 50 participants.
Also I have also suggested on the wiki that this is not related to language but states.
Please do take into account wider feedback from this email trail into account.
Good luck for the pilot.
Regards

money can be spent on better things imho.
