Dear Dr. Pavanaja,
This seems to be nice initiative. Can you please confirm whether it is an
invitee only event? I could not see any call of participation or any link
to register, etc.
Wish you all the success with the event,
Thanks,
Dhaval

Dear Wikimedians,
It gives WMIN and CIS-A2K great pleasure to announce that we have started
preparations for MediaWiki Train the Trainer Program. It is a matter of
grave concern that while the Indian Language Wikipedias are slowly
improving their content and expanding their volunteer base, there is very
less and often zero representation from the Indian Language Communities
towards MediaWiki software and the available tools around.
CIS-A2K intends to bridge this gap by creating and grooming 'tech'
leaders in the MediaWiki sphere from the existing Indian Language
Wikipedians. MediaWiki Train the Trainer program aims to facilitate
discussions around nurturing leadership regarding tech related issues, file
bugs that hinder the growth of Indian Language Wikipedias, active
contribution towards improving the existing MediaWiki software and
understanding the importance of mediating technology for outreach
activities. The 4 day residential event will happen in last week of June,
2015.
Exact dates and venue will be announced soon.
We welcome specific issues that should be discussed during the MWTTT as
well as feedback and suggestions. Please write to us if there are any
concerns.
