Ayyo- I'm neither a Professor, nor a grad student- I'm a lowly research fellow. <hangs head in shame>
Notwithstanding that- if anyone here wants to deliver a talk at Barcamp, do get in touch with me, directly. I was looking forward to a "high-level" talk on the Wikimedia Foundation's activities (past, present and planned) in India, particularly considering WikiConference is around the corner in the same city- many of the people who attend Barcamp will likely be types of people we'd like to attract to the Wikimedia community as contributors, and who would likely be interested in attending the conference. I say "high level" versus a talk on the "nitty gritties" of Wikipedia- such as a session on how to edit Wikipedia, since most of the folks here will be technically savvy enough to already know how to do this.

There is so much to speak about - the conference, the Chapter, the education and academy programs... I have been trying to get speakers from other fields too but no one is available at such short notice. I am not in Mumbai currently but likely to be there on the weekend on which the event will be held.
On an aside, Sengupta is one of the organisers of BarCamp and to the best of my knowledge he is a grad student at IIT-B, not a prof. :)On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 1:57 PM, Shekhar Krishnan <shekhar@mit.edu> wrote:
BarCamp Mumbai 7 is happening this weekend, on SUNDAY 2 OCTOBER,
organised by Prof Aditya Sengupta (also on this list):

This is an excellent venue for a talk about Wikipedia in India, the
Mumbai conference, and recruit more volunteers.
Unfortunately I cannot make it, otherwise I would have volunteered
myself. I hope someone else on the list can do it.
Best,
Shekhar
