[Wikimediaindia-l] Chapter Update - June 2011

2011-07-07 Thread Gautam John 
Dear Wikimedia India Community,

Last month, the Chapter has taken several steps to engage with the community
towards building the Chapter further. Here are the highlights.

   1. Membership drive to enroll members who will be able to both stand for
   elections and vote in the elections to the Executive Committee of the
   Chapter was completed on 23 Jun 2011. The membership stands at 64 as of
   23-June-2011. We thank the community for having shown keen interest in
   getting membership in the Chapter.
   2. A mailing list exclusively for members (wmin-memb...@googlegroups.com)
   is now operational. We encourage members to start using the mailing list
   for discussing topics of interest to members.
   3. A wiki for members (http://members.wikimedia.in with 36 accounts as of
   4 Jul 2011) is now operational. We request all members to intimate chapter
   their user-ids on Community wiki, to enable access for them on Members Wiki.
   Members can seamlessly access community wiki and Members wiki, with single
   login. We look forward to building an active members wiki, which can help in
   shaping the Chapter's plans.
   4. Chapter decided to partner with the Mumbai and Pune Wiki-Communities
   to co-host the WikiConference
India for
   this year.
   5. Applied for a boot strap
grant
from
   the Wikimedia Foundation.
   6. AGM is planned for 24th September, 2011 in Bangalore.

We thank the community on the support extended to the Chapter so far. We
would like to thank Arnav Chaudhary specifically for offering to set-up a
platform for membership sign-ups and
management and
building a test site and several others from members and community in
testing the prototype. We look forward to the community and members to
volunteer for other projects  as
well and also support the chapter through
donations,
as getting the funds from Foundation could take 3-4 months.

Over the next few weeks, we will work towards forming city/language
subcommittee
(for
members only), defining the process for nominations and conduct of elections
for vacancies in EC as well as making progress on
projects
.

You can still register to be a member of the Chapter by using the [Individual
Membership 
Form]
along with either Cheque/DD payable at par at Bangalore or via online
transfer. Please do send us the physical copy of the form, duly signed, to
the Bangalore address of the Chapter.

Look forward to your continued support
Thank you.

Best,

Gautam on behalf of the Wikimedia Chapter.
