Can other working committee members also join us for the meeting?If so, can we meet for an hour or two in the second half. Say after 1:30 PM. Any area in the ktm downtown (durbar marg or so) of the city would be great for me. If preferred we can have a meeting in my office in Putalisadak area as well. Do suggest about suitability and timing. If needed please call me or text me at my number 9851077031.

Thanks for the confirmation Hemal ji. With respect to the re-allocation of the grant budget for the aforementioned two initiatives and others , I strongly support the idea to have a face-to-face meeting before writing up in meta page.
I would like to suggest coming Saturday afternoon for meet-up anywhere in Kathmandu.

Thanks for clearing the confusion. So, now we can move ahead with planning for the final re-allocation for the above two initiatives. Nabin ji, Ganesh ji, can you please add the planned writeup in the re-allocation meta page for review and approval by the WMF.Also, is there any other important activities that might we can conclude within the re-allocation budget? If so, please suggest.
Further, can we have a face-to-face meeting as well soon to final out the details for completion of the re-allocation. I would request confirm participation of At-least the Initiative lead and the working comittee team members for this meeting. Please suggest, what time, date and venue will be best suited for all.With kind regards,Hempal ShresthaG.P.O Box: 55011753 Ramshah Path, Near Nepal Share Market,Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Nepal+977-1-4261459 (O) / +977-9851077031(M)On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 1:20 AM, Alex Wang <awang@wikimedia.org> wrote:Hi Hempal,Please note that I will be on vacation January 1-11th. If you would like me to review and approve a reallocation request before then, please post it on the discussion page of the grant. Otherwise, we can discuss it when I am back.
Sorry, I'm still not sure if the question is directed at me or your team?
Cheers,

Regarding confusion, I wanted to be clear along with the community beforehand for planning and implementing the award program.As updated, the current status of the WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 competition is completed. We have already published the final 10 winners from both the competition.And in this stage, I want to seek input in advance if there exist any inconsistency (if any) with the WMF grants re-allocation process for rewarding the winners who have already been selected and now being planned for their reward under this new re-allocation process? Just don't want that this question arises in the later stage of program implementation.With kind regardsHempal ShresthaWith kind regards,Hempal ShresthaFOSS Solutions : A Knowledge Collaboration EnterpriseG.P.O Box: 55011753 Ramshah Path, Near Nepal Share Market,Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Nepal+977-1-4261459 (O) / +977-9851077031(M)On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 11:26 PM, Alex Wang <awang@wikimedia.org> wrote:AlexHi Hempal,Thanks for the info.

Ganesh ji, Outreach activities to the other cities (outside of Kathmandu Valley) would be a good initiative. But for that we will need to have commitment of atleast 3-4 Nepali Wikipedians in advance for the Wiki Travel outside Kathmandu valley for the entire duration. Do we have tentative lead and team members who will be ready to travel to other cities for the Wiki-Travel?2. Nabin ji, Awarding the Winners for WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 is indeed a good practice to continue with. As you remember the last year's WLM was coordinated by Saroj ji and Mahalaxam ji and the winners of WLM 2013 were also rewarded (Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Nepal) as per the budgeted reward amount incorporated in the expansion project in advance.The current situation of both the WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 competition are completed and closed. The submission of photos by the users is over for both the competition in their due time. Selection and declaration of the top 10 winning contributors for both WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 has also been made. Now, we are in the process of felicitating the winners of both the competition. And hence we are looking forward for possible re-allocation of the remaining funds for rewarding these winners.Here, I have a little confusion about any constraints in the process (if any) regarding budgeting for the fund for rewarding the winners who are already selected and declared. Hence, I would seek more clarity and suggestion from Alex and fellow Wikipedians. Once we have more clarity on this constraints, we can confidently move ahead with rewarding the winners of WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 as we concluded for WLM 2013 winners.Nabin ji, I have followed following links to verify above information, please correct me if there are some more information to add to it.Information for WLE 2014:Information for WLM 2014:With kind regardsHempal ShresthaWith kind regards,Hempal ShresthaFOSS Solutions : A Knowledge Collaboration EnterpriseG.P.O Box: 55011753 Ramshah Path, Near Nepal Share Market,Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Nepal+977-1-4261459 (O) / +977-9851077031(M)
