ഈ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട സന്ദേശം ഇതുവരെ കാണാത്തവർ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ ദയവായി ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുക. മലയാളം വിക്കിസമൂഹത്തിൽ നിന്നും നമ്മളും നാലോ അഞ്ചോ പ്രതിനിധികളെ തെരഞ്ഞെടുക്കേണ്ടതാണു്. വിക്കിപീഡിയ പഞ്ചായത്തിൽതന്നെ ചർച്ച ചെയ്തു് (ആവശ്യമെങ്കിൽ വോട്ടെടുപ്പോടെ) പ്രതിനിധികളെ തീരുമാനിക്കുന്നതായിരിക്കും ഏറ്റവും ശരി. (തൽക്കാലം ഞാൻ സ്വന്തം അഭിപ്രായപ്രകാരം കുറച്ചുപേരെ നോമിനേറ്റ് ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ടു്. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:India_Community_Consultation_2014 പക്ഷേ, പൊതുവായ കമ്യൂണിറ്റി അഭിപ്രായമാണു വേണ്ടതു്. അതിനാൽ അങ്ങനെ തെരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്നവർ തന്നെയാണു് നമ്മുടെ പ്രതിനിധികളാവേണ്ടതു്.) ഇന്ത്യയിലെ വിക്കിസമൂഹത്തിനു പൊതുവേയും അതോടൊപ്പം തന്നെ മലയാളം വിക്കിസമൂഹത്തിനും ഭാവിപരിപാടികൾ കൂടുതൽ ഫലപ്രദമായി ആസൂത്രണം ചെയ്യുന്നതിൽ ഈ ചർച്ചയിൽ അതിപ്രധാനമായ പങ്കുണ്ടെന്നു മനസ്സിലാക്കുമല്ലോ. ബാംഗളൂരോ മുംബായിലോ വെച്ചായിരിക്കും രണ്ടു ദിവസത്തെ ഈ പരിപാടി നടക്കുക. തെരഞ്ഞെടുക്കപ്പെട്ട പ്രതിനിധികളുടെ യാത്ര, താമസം, ഭക്ഷണം തുടങ്ങിയ ചെലവുകളെല്ലാം വിക്കിമീഡിയ ഫൗണ്ടേഷൻ വഹിക്കും. -വിശ്വം ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Asaf Bartov <abartov(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 8:42 AM Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] IMPORTANT: Future of work in India -- a community consultation in Bangalore To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> We have confirmed the dates of the consultation: *October 4th and 5th* (weekend). If you haven't do so yet, please do give some thought to the *Delegates* and *Venue* sections of the organization page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:India_Community_Consultation_2014 I hope some community conversations about delegates are taking place. As I said 5 days ago, we'd rather have communities nominate delegates, than to have to select people ourselves. For communities that do not come up with community nominations, we will be selecting people on the basis of proxy measures such as levels of engagement on wiki, on lists, and good standing (not banned etc.), but this may well not be the optimal delegates from the community's standpoint.
