<div>Hi Rehman -
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for your note. We’re looking for ideas about interesting local projects that might want to share with a global audience. We’ll have at least 120 people from more than 80 countries attending the Summit, so as much as we can learn about local
initiatives involving digital media (with a special interest of mine in digital inclusion - i.e. marginalized or underrepresented communities). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As someone working on a grassroots level, perhaps you or your colleagues might have suggestions for us on some of these initiatives. It could potentially be presented as a panel or a talk. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Last time, we had a panel about how Wikimedia Philippines is helping promote linguistic diversity through Wikipedia. But maybe it is not necessarily the case in Sri Lanka.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Really, we’re open to ideas on what you think might resonate with an international audience from your local perspective.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

us? I could then pass on the info to my colleagues and see if anyone else from the local Wikimedia group will be interested in joining. :)</div>
