[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia India chapter

[CherianTinu Abraham]

Thanks Gautam ,
Would it be a good idea to record the Agenda & MoM of the EC meetings ( &
hopefully previous ones, if there are ) ? That may possibly help the
community to be in sync with what the chapter is thinking & planning.. and
important decisions that are taken. Thoughts ?

Not sure, whether there is a possibility of an annual meeting within this
financial year as articulated by MoA.

One person raised a question to me privately, I thought it might be good to
ask here, that whether the current term of office bearers like President etc
and EC members starts from the date of approval of the chapter or
registration date of the chapter in India ?

Last year 2010, Arunram & Hari Nadig represented India at the
Chapter committees in Berlin , as chapter to be. It will be a proud moment
as we are representing us as an official chapter for the first time, this
year. Was wondering if the community has some expectations on this.
Thoughts?

Congrats and best wishes to Anirudh who is representing India at Frankfurt,
Germany on the movement roles Project

As we wait for the announcements of Wikimedia Foundation office in India &
National Program Director, I believe 2011 will be a great year for the
Wikimedia India movement.

Regards
Tinu Cherian
