Hello everyone, I’m delighted to invite you to the 36th edition of the DCW Conversation Hour, featuring Pavan Santhosh, an experienced Wikimedian and open knowledge practitioner who has been actively contributing to the Telugu Wikipedia and its sister projects since 2015. Currently, he is the Program Manager for the Open Knowledge Initiatives at IIIT Hyderabad, continuing his work at the intersection of open knowledge, communities, and institutions.
In this conversation, Pavan will focus on reimagining how Wikimedia communities engage and collaborate beyond the movement, moving past traditional outreach models toward more meaningful and reciprocal partnerships. He will also emphasize the importance of understanding the needs, priorities, and contexts of external communities—rather than merely inviting them to contribute—so that collaborations are built on shared goals and mutual benefit. The Conversation Hour is scheduled for Wednesday, 24 December 2025, at 13:30 UTC (7:00 p.m. IST). You can find event details and registration on the page below: https://dcwwiki.org/dcw-3Q We look forward to your participation and thoughtful engagement in this important discussion. Kind regards, Ariba Deoband Community Wikimedia
