Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika

[Nitika Tandon]

Hey Annie,

Let me start by saying that it was lovely to meet the entire Wikimedia team
here in Haifa. I wish I had the opportunity to meet you as well, but
nonetheless I hope we meet sometime soon. I have a lot to learn from you
that will help me being a part of the GEP in India. Please let me know if
you'd have time to get on a skype call sometime post 17th August. I pick
this date only because I'm traveling in Israel until then.

Talking about African drumming, it was a very interesting project. So the
fundamental concept being, that a company's success is a function of it's
employees and their capability of working in tandem and harmony with each
other. And Sewa Beats (the organisation I was working with) employs rhythm
and African music to help people connect with each other. So in a typical
workshop, a team of 50 to 500 were taught a particular rhythm on African
drum (called the djembe) and were asked to simulate the same in the group.
In the process, management learnings were derived like the importance of
team work and communication (thier ability to play the djembe together).
There were more aspects involved which I would love to share with you, but
lets take that over the skype call. Or else, i'll be writing paras and paras
about the workshops. :-)

However, I was not an active part of these workshops. I was working on their
market expansion strategy in new markets particularly in Spain, Sweden,
France and Denmark.

Phew! That was a long mail. Will tell you more about it over our call. :-)

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] WikiConference India 2011 - Call for Participation

[Sudhanwa Jogalekar]

Looks like "Call for Participation" in the title is misleading to many.

It is supposed to be call for papers (for speakers) and not call for
attendees registration.

Most of us know this properly, but considering lot of students will be
checking it out, it is possible to mislead them as mentioned in the
other mail by the student.

Looks like we have to give some more clarity on the web page.

Yes, that is a good suggestion. I am fine with renaming the page.

I kept the name *Call for Particpation* following the footsteps of wikimania

Better rename it as a "Call for Papers". Back from Haifa, Shiju?

[Pradeep Mohandas]

hi,

Call for Papers will confuse people even more as they might think that
they need to submit a paper for submission. Suggest Call for
Presentations, if the name needs to be changed at all.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] WikiConference India 2011 - Call for Participation

[wheredevelsdare]

I was speaking to Logicwiki about this over the weekend - most of the proposals 
are not quality ones and the reason is possibly that the "Call for 
Participation" concept is alien to most of the target audience. Maybe we need 
to rephrase it and keep it really simple for people to understand, something 
along the lines of "Please submit your proposals to Speak or conduct something 
else related to Wikipedia at WCI 2011 here".

We also need an FAQ section badly IMHO.

Kind Regards,

Congratulations one again..

I wish and request Shiju can join us in Bangalore Wiki Workshop scheduled to
be held on 14 August. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MBL36 ) and
Nikita can join us via Skype so the Bangalore community would get a chance
to greet the 2 new members.
