Dear All,
We still do not have sufficient number of volunteers for the CAN
InfoTech to interact and inform about the Nepali Wikipedia to the Visitors.
Not sure, if my emails to the the mailing list is reaching to all the
subscriber or still waiting for approval. So here I am adding the
Working Committee;s members email IDs as well.
Dear Working Committee team members and other Wikipedians, could you
please volunteer NOW or inform others, who might be interested to support
this Outreach activities of Nepali Wikipedia at the upcoming CAN InfoTech
2015. If we receive a good number of volunteers, we might be in position to
ask for a independent stall for Nepali Wikipedia from January 28, 2015 to
February 02, 2015 at the CAN InfoTech as well.
Please do share if someone could make it and the responsibilities s/he
can take further.
With kind regards,

Dear Friends,
If there is no major difference of opinion on this issue of hosting an
information desk at the CAN InfoTech 2015, shall I proceed and talk with
the Organizing committee and look for the possibilities of a stall at the
CAN InfoTech 2015? However, if there is any objection, I will be happy to
step back.
Further, if there are Wikipedians/Wikimedians who would be interested
to volunteer for the information desk, could you please raise you hands? We
will be sharing information about Nepali Wikipedia to the mass, share the
broucher and other information materials to them. If you have any other
views, ideas or activities that can be taken forward at the CAN InfoTech,
please do share. Also, we might need to raise some resources/funds for
supporting the volunteers (Lunch and snacks) as well certification (if
asked and felt necessary) can someone look for some approach to raise funds
as well?
Looking forward to hear some blips from the community.
With kind regards,
