Hello, everyone.
This is to inform everyone that the community consultation planned for Oct 4th-5th will be held in *Bangalore*.
See here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:India_Community_Consultation_2014#Venue...
I will be following up in the coming day or so with more information on confirmed attendees, taking community nominations into account.
Thanks,
Asaf
Dear Asaf,
Considering the vote count before the midnight of 10th of September Mumbai was the prefrred location for meeting. Vote count Mumbai - 20 Bangalore - 18 (Before Midnight, 10th of Sept.)
History:- https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:India_Community_Consultati... (*some votes added this morning)
And some Board Members http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Announcements/2014-2015 (List) have casted their votes for the location. Board Members Vote count Bangalore:- 1 Mumbai:- 1
And 2 Board Members are from Mumbai. So we can consider count for Mumbai as 3.
Kindly consider it as query regarding Preferred Location for meeting and let us know your views on it.
Thanks & Regards, Abhinav Garule.

Hi Abhinav,
First of all, voting in Wiki world is never about the exact numbers. It is an opinion seeking exercise to reach consensus reached based on the inputs.
There are more names signed under Bangalore who have a better chance of being invited and attending this event (based on the community nominations).
CIS and Wikimedia India Chapter both operate from Bangalore.
So, conducting this event in Bangalore has merit based on logistics too.

hi Abhinav,
I don't think they asked for the community input to decide the location for the consultation, that seems to have sprung up on its own somehow. The idea was always that it would be in either of the two cities and people would be supported to come for the Consultation by the WMF if needed.
There are a few people who have been nominated by other community members and were neither self-nominated nor community nominated.
warm regards, Pradep

Hi,
I meant that a few community members have been nominated by fellow community members. This has happened without the said community member knowing about it and that said nomination did not happened within language community wikis.

As I wrote originally, we'd ideally invite people nominated by their respective communities. Those communities that have not managed to have a discussion and come up with nominated delegates will be represented by our best estimate, based on relevant background (like past service in the EC, in some cases, or past off-wiki programmatic activity), or on (admittedly crude) measures such as total edit count.
I have, for example, personally invited the 5 most active editors on Marathi and Hindi Wikipedia to join us.

Dhaval, please show a little more maturity and don't resort to dark insinuations.
Everyone, what Dhaval meant to say was: "I am upset that the Foundation is only funding domestic travel to this consultation, as that prevents me from coming (from the UK), despite being one of the nominees of the Gujarati community."
With that, I sympathize, but I'm afraid that's our decision.
The Gujarati community will still have its voice heard, through the other nominees.

Hi Asaf,
People editing English Wikipedia from India is a huge but not so organized community.
So far, I haven't seen them nominating anyone for anything like the way other language communities do understandbly due to the way en wiki community operates.
So, I request you to include as many from this community using your best judgment.
Thanks,
Ravi
Asaf, Why only Hindi and Marathi? Why not Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Sanskrit? And yes, as Ravi pointed out English as well. On 15-Sep-2014 10:33 pm, "Ravishankar" ravidreams@gmail.com wrote:

Hi Srikanth,
//Why only Hindi and Marathi? Why not Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Sanskrit?//
What Asaf meant to say was that they are trying their best to invite the right people from communities who didn't make official community nominations. Marathi and Hindi were given only as examples by him. I am sure WMF will invite people from all across the Indian communities. He has already assured to look into the English Wikipedia community in India.
Asaf has already made clear that he will honour all official community nominations.
Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati communities have made official nominations through their village pumps and I hope WMF will try their best to accommodate as many of these members with logistics being the only limitation.
If some community has not made official nominations to make things easier we need to assume collective responsibility for that.
Irrespective of who is participating, we need to come up with an agenda and direction for the event by registering our thoughts at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:India_Community_Consultation_2014#Agend...
I will also be sending out requests in all indian language village pumps soon to share an official communication giving inputs for this event.
Thanks,
Ravi
Certainly, Ravi. We're working on it.

As I wrote originally, we'd ideally invite people nominated by their
respective communities. Those communities that have not managed to have a discussion and come up with nominated delegates will be represented by our best estimate, based on relevant background (like past service in the EC, in some cases, or past off-wiki programmatic activity), or on (admittedly crude) measures such as total edit count.
I have, for

personally invited the 5 most active editors on Marathi and Hindi Wikipedia to join us.

Hi,
I meant that a few community members have been nominated by fellow
community members. This has happened without the said community member knowing about it and that said nomination did not happened within language community wikis.

Thanks Ravi and Pradeep for clearing the doubts. And yes keeping in mind, the logistics and other requirements Bangalore

@Pradeep:- I didn't get this
There are a few people who have been nominated by other community members and were neither self-nominated nor community nominated.
So, Aren't other community members part of community?

hi Abhinav,
I don't think they asked for the community input to decide the location for the consultation, that seems to have sprung up on its own somehow. The idea was always that it would be in either of the two cities and people would be supported to come for the Consultation by the WMF if needed.
There are a few people who have been nominated by other community members and were neither self-nominated nor community nominated.
