Dear All,
Greetings from CIS-A2K, like the previous year, the A2K team is planning to
host a two-day Wikimedia Summit event for the participants taking part in
the Wikimedia Summit in Berlin.
As you might be aware of that, this year the theme of Wikimedia Summit has
changed and one of its primary focus is Strategy 2030. The main goal of
Wikimedia Summit India is to help the participants understand the Wikimedia
strategy process, learn from their work and help them spread awareness
about it in their communities.
The dates for the Wikimedia Summit India is 16th and 17th March 2019, and
the event will be hosted in Delhi. We're only inviting Indian participants
who are taking part in Wikimedia Summit 2019. For more information, Please
have a look at this page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/2019/Wikimedia_Summit_India_…
.
Best!

Thank you Tito for your quick reply yesterday.
Meanwhile it gas been brought to my notice that due to my this question,
Wikisource meetup has now been cancelled/postponed.
I am saddened to know that my concern raised here in general with mere
example of 2 events has been used as a shield to take a decision on the
event that was "still in planning stage". If the decision to cancel the
event was due to the interpretation of my concern as "no support from
community", it is very unfortunate.
I never said or indicated that I do nit support the initiative. Please
point me to the statement where you or anybody got that indication.
This whole episode makes me think whether the Project Tiger Consultation is
also being cancelled due to its mention in the same email by me.
In either case, if you decided to cancel the Ahmedabad solely because of
me, I should have been informed or at least consulted before taking such a
huge decision and communicating to the community. This has only created
rift in a very small community of Gujarati Wikimedians and nothing else.
Thank you,
Dhaval Sudhanva Vyas
