Hi all,
I'm really looking forward to Wikiconference India next week and congrats in advance to the organizers, who have put countless hours into the work of preparing this unprecedented gathering in India. The program committee invited me to do a talk on Sunday which is a great honor, thank you!
I'd like to ask for your input on areas you would like me to focus on in my talk. I will have time set aside for discussion, but want to see if you have any particular interest areas that you'd like me to focus on.
Thanks and see you on Friday!
Barry
Hey Barry,
Greetings. Glad you are making your presence to India conference and delivering a talk. Cant wait to to hear your words.
IMO, I think it would be nice, if your talk focuses on the future of India/Indians in the wikimedia movement.. You might also consider talking on how people can contribute to improve Wikipedia's presence among the strong and culturally inclined Indian community.
Open for suggestions.
Thanks, Ade.

Warm welcome to India barry, hope this'd be like a homecoming for you as you have been closely associated with several programs in India. And about suggestions from Indian Wikipedians, i'd request you to put few words about your understanding and suggestions about regional communities in different parts of India.

Barry,
In last Wikimania, Jimmy Wales gave a "Global Wikipedian of the year" award for the phenomenal work done in Khazak Wiki.
http://en.tengrinews.kz/internet/3813/
But, we couldn't learn in detail about their work.
Similarly, there will be many growing global Wikipedia communities that face challenges and yet do a great work.
From your experiences as a Global development officer, it will be
useful for us to learn how they do it.
So, in essence, I would like your talk to be about growing globall communities. Not about Indian Wiki communities :)

Thanks for the ideas for the talk folks. I'll try my best to cover the topics you suggest and hope we can have a good discussion throughout the three day conference. Thanks for the warm welcome. As always, I'm excited to be visiting...and seeing you all.
Best, Barry
