Hi,

Thank you for considering me, but I won't be able to attend the conference this year. Also, I think that I am not at all the suitable person to represent the Wikisource User Group. The best Wikisourcers are there leading the Wikisource community globally and fighting for language equity and I have huge respect to all of them. IMO, it would be best for the project if these awesome Wikimedians represent the UG in the conference.

Jayanta Nath will be representing West Bengal Wikimedians User Group in the conference officially and he will be there unofficially for Bengali and other Indic Wikisource projects too. So, as far as non-Western Wikisource is concerned, there will be at least one representative, for sure. \o/

Regards,

Bodhisattwa

The two representatives of the user group last year where Ernest fr.wikisource for the partnership track and Andrea for the strategy track. I was part of the "Invitees for the Movement Strategy Track", mostly talking/thinking about Wikisource during the strategy sessions but not a formal representative of the UG.

I am probably not the best person to talk with people so I believe it would be much better fo the user group to send someone else that would represent the group better. More it would be nice to get new Wikisource people, to attend global events (I already have plenty of occasions to attend such events with my technical hat).
So, I would be in favour to have one person used to such events (like Nicolas, Andrea or Bodhisattwa) and one new person who may be interested by the learning or partnership tracks.

> In any case I would think interesting to have Bodhisattwa Mandal joining the party: that would allow to also give more voice to non-western communities.

Big +1 from a person outside of the en, fr, de, it communities.

Cheers,

Thomas
