Hi Srikanth,
Good initiative on securing presence at Carte Blanche. Agree, we need to
participate in as many outreach events as possible.
You may want to consider requesting some Wikimedia promotional material to
be shipped for the event from the foundation office.
Please also list this on the wikimedia.in page.
After discussing with the organizers do call out for any help or assistance
you might need towards Carte Blance. Arjuna, Anirudh and Arun Ganesh ran
stalls at Foss.in. They can give you some experiential pointers that may be
of help for your event.
Also let this list know how many volunteers you may need.
regards
Arun

Hi all,
I suppose Wikipedia stall at FOSS.IN was a great start in reaching out to
FOSS / Student community in India.We must attempt to be present in a
stall at all such similar events which give space for us. I have got a
confirmation from Carte Blanche[1] for a stall and working with Wikipedians
in Chennai for manning the stall on Feb 6. There is also a fossmeet at NIT
Calicut[2] happening around the same time. Any Kerala / Malayalam
wikipedians willing to take it up? We must also keep a watch on huge
technical events at prominent colleges where we would be getting students
from the particular region and having a stall there would give a reach to
about 500-1000 Students(and/or general public).
