A grand thanks to Nepali Wikipedia founder Wikipedian Mr. Indiver today at the Nepali Wikipedia Information Desk at the CAN InfoTech 2015 and awarding All the Wikipedian and FOSS volunteers each with Free Web hosting and VPS for one year to start with. Thanks for your encouraging visit Indiver ji and for the award to recognize the our untiring volunteers.
I am fully aware that many among us will have difference of views, opinion and interest regarding the actual value of this kind of public Outreach in comparison to In-wiki activism and contribution, however we are really enjoying  the level of general public enquirers about Nepali Wikipedia and queries as how they can add /editing Wikipedia content. As per demand we are also promised to them that we will be delighted to have wiki-school on every Saturday from 1:00- 4:00 pm as per their demand. Please do volunteer if you can conduct some of these Wiki-School sessions.

Finally, we are still short of onsite Nepali Wikipedian volunteers to guide these visitors more properly. Nawaraj is doing a great job, but he handling the visitors from beginning to the end and didn't get a single chance to leave the desk. Hence If anyone is still available or coming to visit CAN InfoTech coming days, could you kindly plan 1-2 hours for supporting this Nepali Wikipedia desk.

Thanks again for all your support and faith.

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,

Dear All, 

As you all know, CAN InfoTech is being organized from January 28-February 02, 2015 in Brikhuti Mandap. This year also, the organizer have expected to have more than 400,000/- visitors in the CAN InfoTech. 

Along with the general mass, there will be high profile visitors as well including the Secretaries and other Academic officials. I personally find this to be a good platform to meet, interact and share about Nepali Wikipedia to general mass. From our experience in the past such Information Desk at the CAN SofTech 2014 and Nepal National Science Day 2014, general masses are not at all aware about the Existence of Nepali Wikipedia, leave alone about possibility to edit these Wikipedia by them or anyone in the world. 

Hence, I was wondering, if the Nepalese Wikipedian community will also be able to putup a Information Desk at the CAN InfoTech 2015.

If, there is no objection to the idea and have some leading volunteers (say around 5-6 volunteers) to be in the information desk from January 27-Feburary 02, 2015, I will be happy to talk and request (if feasible) for an stall Nepali Wikipedians, (in Gratis ie. @ no Charge) from CAN InfoTech Organizing Committee. Normally these stall's minimum cost is Rs 35,000/- For more information about the CAN InfoTech 2015 visit the link: http://caninfotech.org.np/

Please do share your ideas, observation and objection if any to this possible effort.
