**Cross posted on various Indian Mailing Lists**
As per Community consensus, the annual national conference of Wikipedians in India will be titled WikiConference India.
We now need a special Logo for the event.
This logo will be used not only this year, but annually for the national conference. Community members are requested to come up with designs and post them on the talk page of the event on meta latest by 1PM, Monday 27 June 2011. Thereafter we will have a 48 hour window for the other community members to vote for the design they like.
**Kindly note, we expect the designers to assign unconditionally all rights to the logo design to Wikimedia Chapter (India) under whose jurisdiction this conference comes without any remuneration or other considerations. You will be recognised as the designer of the logo.**
Weblink for the Event Talk Page on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiConference_India_2011#Logo
Looking forward to seeing some brilliant designs.
Kind Regards,

> Hi Folks

> Here's a report on the Wikipedia India Education Program: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/India_…

> In (very) short summary, it's been an action packed 4-5 weeks, the team has done a huge amount of groundwork - and there appears to be significant potential. Do go through the report for further details.
>
> ...I've tried to make the report as interesting to read as possible - and focus on the learnings and implications for a national roll-out (instead of making it a random list summarising various activities.)

> Do let me have your views on the mailing lists or the Talk Page.

Hi Wikipedians,
The first community newsletter from the Wikimedia
India community was released in September 2010. Since that time, various
community members have been involved with creating a regular version of the
newsletter; today,* we are pleased to announce the commencement of
WikiPatrika*, a monthly newsletter of Wikimedia community, chapter and
foundation updates from India.
'Patrika' is the closest pan-Indian word that has roughly similar meaning
across the country that also conveys the right spirit; it has a multitude of
meanings, but is broadly understood to mean 'journal' or 'magazine'.
WikiPatrika is an independent publication which is not affiliated with the
Wikimedia Foundation or the Wikimedia India chapter. We sincerely thank the
Wikimedia India chapter for allowing us to host this newsletter on
wikimedia.in .
The *first edition of WikiPatrika is now released* - Volume 2 , Issue 1 -
2011 June

>
> Hi Folks
>
> We conduct a monthly IRC on India Programs on the first Thursday of every month. I'm writing to invite you to attend tomorrow's IRC. I've scheduled it for 9pm IST - based on feedback I've gotten from the community when discussing this at the various meet-ups I've been attending that this time slot might be more convenient.
>
> Something different that I thought we would do in the IRC tomorrow is to have some guests. Specifically, I wanted to invite Frank, Annie, PJ & Srikeit - all of who are supporting the Wikipedia India Education Program's Pune Pilot. Frank & Annie are with the Foundation. PJ is from the Campus Ambassador program in the US - and has offered to come down to Pune to support this initiative for just under the next 3 months. Srikeit is an existing Wikipedia and has offered to support the program for the next 1 year.
>
> I thought it would be a great way of getting to know them and for you to interact with them and to discuss the (very early) signals that we would have on the program (given that we are starting formal outreach today.) We'd love to hear your views as well.
>
> As always, we will also give a quick summary of India Programs and discuss any other issues you'd like to.
>
> Do join us!
