Since this is a new concept for us, I hope you will bear with us a little. 1. If the idea of the Summit is that it is to be held in Pune only, why not just call it Wikipedia Summit Pune? This gives other cities in India also a chance to consider such an event themselves. 2. Since this summit is to be held in Pune year-on-year, I would suggest writing to the Pune list and also inviting the Pune SIG in the Committee. 3. There has not been a WikiConference in 2012. I remember the Chapter had put out a call for bids but got none. I am happy that they did not feel compelled to push for a WikiConference. These things work much better when the community members want it. Till then, I suppose state level conferences like the one organised by the Malayalam Wikipedia community and this Summit by Pune would breed a group of people with skills acquired for organising a nation wide WikiConference. Warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas
