Hello everyone, Last month, I had put together a work plan for Gender gap activities in India: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap_India_work_plan
I would greatly appreciate it if you could add your suggestions, feedback and comments to the work plan or post them here. The strategy shared by Siko Bouterse is full of ideas I could incorporate into the work plan, and it addresses some of the challenges I have been thinking long and hard about. I am delighted to see that a Gender gap event in India<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap_strategy_2013#Short_Term_Strategy_.2F_Next_Steps>could be in the offing. :) Regards, Rohini -- Chairperson (Special Interest Group), Gender gap, Wikimedia Chapter (India) On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 2:09 AM, Siko Bouterse <sboute...@wikimedia.org>wrote: > Hi all, > > In July, we hosted a small gathering in San Francisco to consider the > current state of the gender gap and brainstorm some initiatives that > community and staff (WMF grantmakers, etc) might work on together in the > coming year.
