Hi Ansuman,
I don't think anybody from Mumbai team is currently working on this.
If you are interested, you must organise it.

Dear all,
This is to invite all the women editors and contributors on Wikipedia and
other sister projects from India to *WikiWomenCamp*. I'd like to invite all
our fellow women members from the chapter and contributors outside to
attend the conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina in May 2012. While the
conference is largely aimed at women involved in the Wikimedia movement,
the organisers feel that women editors from Wikipedia, helping on Indic
communities can also offer a unique perspective that can be of use to
female leaders inside the Wikimedia movement and help expand the movement
to make it inclusive for all. In turn, we hope that we can provide them
with contacts and assistance with their work related projects. Details
related to the conference can be found at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp
Do pass this on to the other lists concerned and hope to see substantial
participation from India.Let's do it! :)
Warmly
Noopur

Hi Folks,
As you might be aware, the Consultant, Team Support position is to be filled as part of the India Programs team. (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251….)
I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has agreed to join as Consultant, Community & Program Support.
Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha. He has a BE in Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore. He has worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently based in Bangalore. He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha about Wikipedia. Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it in Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia. Since then, he's been on fire! He's helped the Bangalore community organise the monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community & momentum for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai conducting a WikiAcademy there. He is a fantastically inspiring example of a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held in his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility & ownership and then spreading his skills & knowledge to others. He is also one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the Wikimedia Dream.
His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and handwriting analysis. (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that last bit about him. So the next time you see him, show him your writing and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!) He has also been involved with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera outbreak in Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation, eOdissa.com.
Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_S…) was to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a full time role. The functions listed are essential and need to be done - but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and it's value to the community. I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant, Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community & Program Support. I envisage this position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end work listed above but 2/3 of time can be very productively utilised supporting community efforts - such as helping community building & outreach and supporting community-led initiatives. An important consideration I have for this redesignation is after looking at the specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make sure that he has the required space to realise his potential and to support the community and movement.
Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for and as part of the Wikimedia community. The one question that he emphasized during the selection process was whether he would retain the flexibility to continue to pursue his personal passions on Wikimedia; the answer he got was a loud Y-E-S!!! :-) I'm delighted to have another community member joining the team.
He'll formally start in Delhi on January 9th 2012.
Do join me in welcoming him.
Warmest Regards,
hisham
hi,
I've created the page for the Wikipedia meetup in January, 2012 leaving the
place and date as blanks as these will be decided by discussion on the
list. Please check whom you're sending the reply-to. Please send it to the
list and not individually to me.

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Pre-announcement for Wikiwomen camp/conference
in Argentina
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear all,
Just keeping you posted if you haven't seen the IRC log yet. A couple of
women Wikipedians from Australia and Argentina chapters have been planning
a Wikiwomen camp and conference in Argentina sometime in May, 2012. I know
it's far away and probably the official announcement will happen sometime
end of this month but I thought it's wise to keep you posted so that you
can keep your respective Indic language women editors in loop.
Those who might be interested in participating will have to apply for a WMF
participation grant I guess and they might want to join the discussion on
the other list to add Indian inputs. One part of the event (Camp)
encourages women's participation only while the other invites all to
contribute. Please do spread the word and encourage our Wikichix to
participate too :) Drop me a mail if you want to join that mailing list.
Warmly
Noopur

Wiki Loves Monuments 2012, India: Sign up here - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_India

Subject: [cultural-partners] Wiki Loves Monuments... 2012!
Hello everyone,
As you may have heard,
a little while ago some organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments 2011
came together in a rainy and cold Amsterdam to evaluate the 2011
edition, and kick off documentation for 2012. We would like to
share some of the results of our meeting with you.
The first and most
important information is:
* There is going to be
a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 -- and if there is interest, we
are going global!
We would like to get a
feeling of in how many countries there would be people
potentially interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments
nationally; but firstly, let us start with the basics.
Wiki Loves Monuments
is a photo contest organized in 2010 and 2011 in, respectively,
the Netherlands and in Europe. The contest asks the general
audience to upload pictures of monumental/historical sites and
buildings during September. It has a federal structure and is
organised seperately in every participating country by the local
people who know how things work in their area; best photos from
all countries are nominated for an international contest.
In 2011 this contest
was very successful, with more than 165.000 photos of monuments
in 18 participating countries submitted in total. This was
possible thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers in
those countries who helped organise Wiki Loves Monuments in one
way or another. The winning pictures have been published on <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu> and on Wikimedia Commons: <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_winners>.
Besides the wonderful
direct impact on the overall quality and coverage of heritage
and culture topics, Wiki Loves Monuments is a fantastic
opportunity to reach some of our important goals: we had a
participation of over 4.000 new users who created the first ever
community-driven contribution peak on Wikimedia Commons (<http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/#new_editors_per_month>); we have also helped in establishing cooperation
between Wikimedia groups & chapters and some of their local
cultural institutions and organisations in several countries.
Would you be
interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 in your
country? Would you like to know more? Find all the details at
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012>. We have put together some information there for
you -- and much more will follow soon.
We would also like
you to join our public mailing list where everyone is welcome to
ask any questions about the details on how to organise a Wiki
Loves Monuments in your country. This is a place where many
organizers of 2011 are already on and we will use that as our
main channel for communications and information dispersion in
2012. Be bold and sign up for the list at <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments>.
So, please speak up
if you're interested!
Best regards,
Lodewijk, Maarten
& Tomasz (on behalf of so many others)
