Hello friends,
We need to decide by tomorrow night (21 Jun 2011) 2200 hrs IST (arbitrary, for the sake of speeding things up) as to what the conference is to be called.
Four options have been listed - WikiMela, WikiConference India, WikiUtsav & Wikimania India. A few people have already voted but we want wider input just to be sure.
So please add your vote at -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiConference_India_2011#Name
As of now, WikiConference India - the default placeholder we used seems to be the winner, but we want to be pretty sure, you guys dont want a name with Indian overtones such as WikiUtsav or WikiMela.
Tomorrow night at 2200 hrs, the supports for/against will be counted for each & the result announced so we can go in for the logo design. So do go & put in your vote.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------
Hi Ashwin,
Glad that the right name Wikiconference, India was chosen.
Wikimania is a global name. So, it is best left untouched to avoid confusion.
Names like Mela, Utsav don't recognise the non-sanskrit based multi linguistic nature of India. So better to name all Wikimedia Indian events, tracks in English alone.
