FYI in case you are tracking press attendance for the meet ups.

Hi,
Thanks for your questions. We're hoping you can attend the birthday celebrations in Delhi this weekend! I'll actually be in Delhi next week. It would be good if you have time to meet up for an informal chat.
Answers to your questions:
So, I would like to know what is the status of your India office?
The most important thing we're working on right now is hiring a Country Director. Our office will consist of a small team of 3-5 people, so it will be a modest operation. We still plan to open the office in the next few months.
In addition to the small office the Foundation plans to open, there is a vibrant community of volunteers, as well as an established Chapter in Bangalore. The volunteers have organized more than 60 events to celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary in India. You can find more information here: http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
When are you going to inauguration(if its not already done) the office and where in India? We still have not decided on a location.
I would also like to contact the head of your India office. As I said, we still have not hired a Country Director--the person who will manage our small team--but Barry Newstead, our Chief Development Officer, will be in Delhi with me next week.
I will highly appreciate if you could answe me as soon as possible.
I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
Cheers, Moka
