hi,
I just got an email from the chapter asking if I wanted money (upto INR 2000) from the chapter for the conduct of Wikipedia 11 anniversary. I am not sure how many other cities got the same offer.
While it may seem as a generous offer, my own opinion is that this money could be more productively useful to the whole community other than for purchase and cutting cakes, which was a requirement that the Chapter asked for, if we were to hold the event.
Can we formulate a policy for providing and recieving grants that can be made on and followed in a public or chapter's public wiki?
warm regards, Pradeep

This is a good suggestion..

If there is money for such celebrations, let us impart it for some very simple things:
What about just printing the Wikipedia logo stickers abundantly and distributing it among relevant circles?
Just getting the common man to acquaint with the logo itself will be a very effective outreach! I can say this from my own experience since two months and 20 stickers!
