[15:55:50] I wish we had more members on this IRC asking you queries to examine your candidatures and understand your experience better. [15:56:00] Haha! True, true.

I have a lot of queries to you all.... :) [16:00:08] ekbal, hfactor karthikndr mangalat Netha Sibi Viswaprabha Answer in order All of you have 2 mins time to answer this [16:00:18] @arunram I would like to answer first [16:00:21] Keep posting . dont wait for others [16:00:22] The desire, the honesty and the prepradness to provide an emic perspective. [16:00:31] I earnestly believe that having been more than a three decade on the computer world, more than a decade on the Wikimedia environment, more than 3 years within the chapter and two years on the EC, makes me feel qualified to be an EC again. [16:00:35] *Preparedness [16:00:38] I think in the interest of time all candidates can answer in parallel, this is IRC [16:01:01] arunram, +1 [16:01:13] Its the experience and the passion for the movement [16:01:23] waiting for candidates to respond ... [16:01:27] I may be an ode man out by age and being non IT trained person. However, I have been talking and writing on Wiki related issues for the last two decades [16:01:40] Planning and organistional effeciency along with grass root movement . [16:02:04] And my experience as VC Kerala University, Planning Board etc can be used to further stregthen Wikimedi India Chapter functioning [16:02:28] Also I am associated with the larges grassroot movement KSSP in Kerala [16:03:11] being an academic for almost three decades and coordinated acacdemic activities at national and internationla level,such as conferences and experience in academic planning, I wish I would be able to contribute in wikimedia [16:04:10] I can bring my experience in GLAM and outreach to the EC. My best capability is my experience in working with gender gap and science related projects. [16:04:17] Capacity to work as a team, along with the community. And my experience of working with community and in advertising industry will help me to contribute to the chapter. [16:04:27] With such enthusiasm and committment around I am sure that Wikimedia India chapter is poised for a great leap forwards [16:05:25] Hope everyone completed . [16:05:30] my experiemce in organisaing from local events like photowalks to international events like Wiki Loves Monuments...where the community have been involved more in all way [16:05:35] Having worked with Free software movement at ground level , can extend the same , [16:05:49] may I know who is @hfactor [16:06:18] arunram: Hiran Venugopalan :) [16:06:19] can you change you nick to you candidate name for other members to identify you from the logs [16:06:21] arunram, He already introduced , it is Hiran Venugopalan [16:06:30] please consider changing nick [16:06:40] arunram, many have registered nicks in freenode [16:06:49] off.. finally got to know who is @hfactor :D [16:06:56] @srinivas which candidates are missing [16:07:03] HFactor is his user name, fair enough, it is there on his profile [16:07:06] from the IRC tonight [16:07:13] 8/13 are here . [16:07:28] May we please know who are missing. [16:07:29] will rename, let me exit from other irc rooms. [16:08:07] @hfactor you made a good point about team work. that is key to a functional EC [16:09:09] Next question please [16:09:22] @karthikndr @viswaprabha thankss for your response, what would you do differently this time around as you were an EC earlier [16:09:58] Any other responses ? Anything to add [16:10:28] Yes. We can move to next question [16:10:35] @srinivas let us wait a bit [16:10:36] arunram, after this question . lets give opportunity for other members to ask questions . We will come back to you after all people finished one round [16:10:41] hoping to meet you all important to such energetic youngsters to get re charged! [16:11:08] "important to meet " [16:11:14] @anirvar what about followup questions [16:11:32] @arunram I would like to focus on more innovative projects in coming years..m sure the international community would appreciate and involve along with us [16:11:35] arunram, you can ask after one round is completed [16:11:47] To me, mostly, it will be a continuum of what we have been trying to accomplish amidst all the obstacles. We have just started to break-even from a point of critical threshold. [16:12:25] also, would focus more on the legal aspects which will enable the chapter to be less dependant on one single organisation [16:12:30] @viswaprabha perhaps not much was accomplish from the last EC [16:13:03] thats my view as a member, perhaps some concrete suggestions for the next term would inspire members to support [16:13:49] A more detailed perspective is already presented at the QA page [16:14:02] ok thanks [16:14:19] @srinivas perhaps the next member can ask a query, I will wait my turn fr further questions [16:14:37] Netha with respect to http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bangalore/Wikipedia-does-its-bit-for-sexual-minorities/2014/07/15/article2331490.ece an illegal activity in India why does the chapter focus on it? [16:15:07] @srinivas can we have members first please. [16:15:14] Anyone else have have questions ? Krutikaa gem vkadarsh , techfiz . Ask your questions(if any ) and mention your membership no [16:15:30] perhaps another iRC if candidates want a debate between themselves [16:15:44] Yogesh, whose perspective is that "That it is an illegal activity that a Wikipedian promotes" [16:15:52] any new/innovative plan for this term? [16:15:58] i dont think a debate is necessary [16:16:03] Netha ji http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you%27re_a_dog Wikipedia editors are all anonymous by default [16:16:04] Is there any question from non-candidates ? we can take them first [16:16:23] Yes [16:16:26] @srinivas I do, when other members are done [16:16:55] What is the scheduled closure of this session Anivar [16:17:04] arunram, conitinue . If anyone else is having question please ask [16:17:07] *When [16:17:13] YogeshJKhandke, 9-10:30 [16:17:14] ok will do thanks [16:17:32] 1030 or 10 [16:17:43] ekbal, 10:30 is announced time [16:17:48] @YogeshJKhandle : Neither I, nor the chapter did not engage in any illegal activity in India. I understand that the India Chapter focuses on increasing the diversity of content and participation on Wikimedia, and I uphold the same. [16:18:07] The next question from vkadarsh [16:18:09] hi all /me Omshivaprakash Membership No: INDI-497 - Here is my question to all contestants - How would you ensure that the SIG groups are active, formalized and always connected to EC - community? How you're planning to manage the work flow? [16:19:33] @YogeshJKhandke While I respect you need to ask queries and clarify, I find your responses on email lists, manner of querying other candidates a little abrasive, How do you think despite your good capabilities if elected this approach of yours would help build good team spirit and comaraderie with other members [16:19:44] Next question from vkadarsh raised at 21:45 [16:19:50] Thanks Anivar, Why the focus on areas that are illegal in India? How can editors face discrimination? How about the larger picture of the systemic biases that Wikipedia English acknowledges, and why the limited resources spent as you've done? [16:19:59] Netha Ji [16:20:38] YogeshJKhandke, You already asked such questions in Q& A Page and candidates have time to answer it till 15th [16:20:41] Yogeshji, please respect the queue [16:20:59] with the willingness to work hard work flow management will not be difficult. we have now an effecient project manager also [16:21:02] YogeshJKhandke, lets focus on new questions [16:21:26] techfiz, have a question and you all have 3 minutes to answer it [16:21:34] You are right, some may consider it frank and honest and be happy with it [16:21:40] There are 2 registered questions now 1 from vkadarsh and 1 from Omshivprakash [16:21:51] Like I am [16:21:54] VKAdarsh, I have elaborated on the new plans that the Chapter should work upon, from my perspective, at the QA page. [16:22:04] Repeating question : How would you ensure that the SIG groups are active, formalized and always connected to EC - community? How you're planning to manage the work flow? . Question by techfiz [16:22:07] good query @techfiz aka om [16:23:01] vkadarsh, 's Question is any new/innovative plan for this term? [16:23:02] Hi @techfiz, I understand your concern.. the SIG structure has lost its phase since last year... Yes, in coming year they have to be formalised... from the last meeting in Bangalore with the community, what we have understood is that a frequent formal is mandatory [16:23:06] techfiz: Thanks for the question. I personally think that the SIG we not that active or made impact as expected. I seriously think it needs a proper restructure in it's format and it should ensure more impact, result and community interaction. It has to go grass root level. [16:23:08] to keep the community growing [16:23:08] Anivar the first question too was a repeat, about what we bring to the Chapter... [16:23:17] and keeping everyone active [16:23:45] YogeshJKhandke, true . [16:25:02] Question can be interpreted differently [16:25:13] Response to , any new/innovative plan for this term? Not aiming at events at large scale . Concentring more on community building activites within each languague commuity [16:25:24] wonderign why the responses are too slow [16:25:38] It is upto candidates to decide if they want to add anything as answer [16:25:48] Queue [16:26:25] @srinivas I beg to disagree, we need responses, abstain are not fine. [16:26:27] Netha, Sibi ekbal waiting for your answers [16:26:44] YogeshJKhandke, your answer too [16:26:46] *abstains [16:26:48] i think i responded [16:27:04] Typing answer for techfiz's query . Please wait [16:27:11] @techfiz : The SIGs need restructuring. The Chapter should facilitate frequent meetups (both online and offline) to strengthen group activities. I would suggest the model of usergroups affiliated by the WMF, but with less formality. [16:27:29] mangalat, too [16:27:36] I feel that the wkimedia has two fold responsibilities,adminstrative and academic. [16:28:03] academic,scholarship can not be neglected [16:28:06] Answering vkadarsh, My priorities to work cloesly with community, improve the work format, learn from past and adapt best methods and to position the brand so that it will get more impact, popularity and visibility. [16:28:09] @netha the issue is not the model but a disengaged membership due too lack of serious activities/projects in the last terms except a few [16:28:21] that would end up in a sub standard content generation [16:28:22] THe SIG should be made to feel that EC and WMIN takes them seriously and plan on small scale . [16:28:47] Widen the base, increase outreach activities and increase membership [16:28:48] community need to be properly guided [16:29:14] good [16:29:16] @vkadarsh : My first priority is to strengthen the language communities and increase the number of active Indian Wikimedians. [16:29:21] My mantra is one college per week that would be 104 colleges, [16:29:28] ekbal, you missed answering techfiz's question on SIGs . [16:29:43] Apart from restructuring, SIGs can have brisk activities only if the populations within those groups themselves are above the critical count. Hence, from the Chapter, it is also important to ensure more participation from true Wikipedians and sincere contributors at large. [16:29:58] Are you happy with my answer techfiz [16:30:00] @mangalat community needs to be guided?! [16:30:25] YES [16:30:37] EC should intereact SIG more should not appear to be bureacratic [16:30:40] community is generating the content [16:30:49] sir, How? [16:31:11] arunram: +1 It it also not about the meetups its about engaging the SIG's karthikndr Netha HiranVenugopalan thanks for the answers. There has to be a serious engagement between EC and SIG's to work with the community on serious projects [16:31:11] Would you please elaborate Ekbal ji [16:31:12] @mangalat I would perhaps say community needs to be "supported". [16:31:38] +1 [16:31:45] Should not keep aloof [16:31:52] @arunram : I agree there, but I strongly feel that the model needs restructuring to make it less formal and more inviting. [16:32:17] @arunram I agree..let the community grow naturally...just lending pretty small supports often will enable them to do much better projects [16:32:31] @arunram , vkadarsh , techfiz . Have answered the questions . If further details are required from my answers , please let me know . [16:32:34] YogeshJKhandke: increasing the outreach activities might be a burnout. Increase in memebership to SIG etc requires work around creating trust in wiki community. [16:32:55] I dont understand you techfiz [16:33:09] I think some more SIGs may necessary like those working on IPR issues more specifically [16:33:11] increasing the outreach activity should get priority [16:33:39] Yes agree [16:33:47] YogeshJKhandke: I have been doing outreach all alone as a SIG. Increasing my activity alone might not be a great help. (Thats what I meant by burn-out) [16:34:12] @srinivas can I ask the next query [16:34:35] There wont be burnout if such activites are shared, [16:34:36] Outreach alone will not work out in my opinion . There has to be follow up . Concentrate on 3-4 colleges , build a model which can be replicated . [16:34:58] Of course Sibi, there has to be follow up, [16:35:00] May be we may have organise activities on a time bound campaign mode to inspire enthuse and draw in more activists [16:35:10] outreach without followup is a waste [16:35:29] Sibi: WMIN will take serious contributors seriously for sure. yes, it needs followups and hand-holding and support from EC [16:35:42] Yes follow up and monitoring of activities, understanding our stregth as well as learning from our mistakes are important [16:35:43] Can I ask a question as a member ? I hope i am allowed for that . [16:35:54] Shoot [16:36:01] @techfiz good points.... [16:36:01] How can can attract new netizens to these activities needs to be addressed [16:36:13] The current SIG looks like a "grant provided" and not like something connected to community. The impact and image it built should be changed in such a way that people should understand WMIN is also part of community. [16:36:20] *grant provider [16:36:21] @anivar, yes! [16:36:25] go ahead @anirvar [16:36:26] @Yogesh //There wont be burnout if such activites are shared,// +1 [16:36:33] After adarsh's question [16:36:51] Thanks Sibi [16:36:52] HiranVenugopalan: +1 [16:37:01] vkadarsh, is it a question or comment [16:37:12] qn [16:37:15] Providing grands where necessary without having the image of a "Grand Provider" alone is a great challenge but can be solved [16:37:26] Sorry grant [16:37:39] @HiranVenugopalan that is not the way the SIGs were designed to work or run.... theu were meant to have active EC engagement and participation. [16:38:26] @vkadarsh I feel outreach with followup is the key to attract newcomers [16:38:28] arunram: thanks for adding to my points and explaining :) [16:38:55] just for the sake of some threading can we have @srinivas every question again so candidates can answer, then he announces the next query.... [16:39:16] I dont understand [16:39:20] arunram : It looks that way. And I'm sure it's designed to work and run closely with community. And the image is solvable, so does the result. [16:39:21] @techifiz you are welcome [16:39:50] While going through candidate profiles i felt we have new candidates with wide variety of expertise in various domains apart from people with in -wiki experience . How are you going to use this experience domains to the growth of free knowledge in india . This is specifically for new candidates . For repeat term candidates i want to ask another question . How are you judging your last term performance . Answers need to be brief :-) [16:40:26] @HiranVenugopal the sad part is most people havent seen any SIG function well due to EC and member apathy. it is isnt the model by stakeholder engagement [16:40:29] @vkadarsh : Netizens most frequently use social media and e-mail services. The Chapter should bring potential Wikimedians from these platforms to Wikimedia by online outreach. [16:41:11] ~~~~ Yes agree with [16:41:16] YogeshJKhandke, is not answered most of the questions . I hope , he will start respondinf first [16:41:27] @anirvar that is 2 questions is one. You should wait in a queue too :) LOL [16:41:33] I hope to bring my skills as an entrpreneur/ manager so as to make the chater more active, the capacity to take ownership and deliver [16:41:34] good approach [16:41:50] Anivar? [16:42:33] my work basically is in the academics.but that cover a lot of areas such as langauage and literature,culture studies,folklore,theatre and drama [16:42:33] arunram, true . agreeing with that . But first is a question to new term candidates and second is for people contesting for repeat term . So all have equal opportunity to answer [16:42:57] i would be able utilise my experience in these areas [16:43:01] @anirvar ;-) [16:43:15] as well as my experience in academic planning and implimentation [16:43:18] @anivar the first year was better with more than 50 activities during the year and with projects like WLM, NCERT, and so much on record...however the last year has been more chanlenging in terms of both involving the community and also the financial chanllenge [16:43:46] however hiring Ravi was one great thing and took long time again challenging [16:44:04] @karthikndr nothwithstanding financial and other hurdles who not some no cost projects? [16:44:07] Answering vkadarsh's second question, in my experience, I have seen many netizen's considering wiki as a very academic place or "it's risky to edit", we need to do proper camapaign targetting such netizens to change that perspective. [16:44:09] Netha: social engagement would surely help the movement earn some new wikipedians. It needs to be planned and driven. [16:44:15] @anivar . My area has been Free Software movement . Having been in this for nearly 6 years , I would try to port it to Free Knowldge movement . For the past 2 years have tried to take up the questions of Gender gap in Free Culture movements .Grass root momentum can be brougth for organic growth of the movement and community [16:44:17] @Anivar AFAIK i've taken every catch, please be kind enough to repeat any that i've missed [16:44:22] harsh meetings with WMF turned out to be positive and the chapter again got on the movement....thus it was full of ups and downs, however now in the upward strech [16:44:27] @anivar : With my expertise in medicine, I have learnt to be an effective communicator and an event manager. I hope to take these qualities to the Chapter which will hopefully help in community building and outreach. [16:44:58] 2 more minutes for current set of questions [16:45:20] We have time for 1 / 2 more questions at most now [16:45:22] @Anivar AFAIK i've taken every catch, please be kind enough to repeat any that i've missed [16:45:33] Preference to those who have not asked yet [16:46:01] what is you specifality in medicine? [16:46:02] Rest of the questions can be put up on Q&A to be answered till 15th Nov. [16:46:03] Having 'some' experience in Social/New Media campaigns I think it is easy task to make these netizes more interested in Wiki and free culture! [16:46:11] @arunram no cost projects were still happening..however, thingscould have been much bigger like more glam activities which involves a dedicated person, travel, etc.. especially the Netional Museum whoch you attended in New Delhi..I'm sure that was much fruitful in terms of the trsu we have eanred back [16:46:14] earned* [16:46:25] @techfiz : +1. I understand that if the planning is done effectively, we could make wikimedia-editing viral. To the point that we increase the editor base a hundredfold. I would like to spearhead the online outreach project after collecting inputs and ideas from the community and by applying my own expertise in this field. [16:46:27] If any member feels that their question has not been properly addressed , please let me know with a @Sibi tag [16:46:34] @Netha , what did you mean by "Neither I, nor the chapter did not engage in any illegal activity in India.". Have you or Chapter indulged outside India ?. [16:46:42] YogeshJKhandke, anyway time for that is over [16:47:05] brownhairgirl, can you tell your roll no first [16:47:09] Question not appropriate [16:47:14] 22.30 we still have time, and I've not missed any questions [16:47:17] AFAIK [16:47:20] Can be reworded [16:47:30] whose question not app ? [16:47:49] @dbsr [16:48:02] brownhairgirl, identify with your chapter roll no first . while asking question [16:48:03] pls reword it [16:48:06] Of course Netha ji you didnt indulge in illegal activity, but why the focus? [16:48:14] @brownhairgirl : Since YogeshJKhandke's question was about activities within India, I mentioned so. Let me be clear that I did not engage in any illegal activity within India. The Chapter, to the best of my knowledge, did not engage in any illegal activity so far, either. [16:48:31] Brownhairgirl, You need to dentify first if you want to ask a question or to get involved in any discussions. You are free to read and watch even without that. [16:48:56] I don't think anyone needs to even bother about questions raised by unidentified people. [16:49:00] So you have engaed outside India ? [16:49:12] I dont claim you indulged in illegal activities, why does the Chapter play of the fringes when there is so much to be done as you say increasing membership 100 fold [16:49:20] Netha Ji [16:49:27] nobody answer brownhairgirl until identify . ignore it [16:49:43] Netha Ji [16:49:43] @anivar : Thank you. [16:49:55] @YogeshJKhandke (repeat question) While I respect you need to ask queries and clarify, I find your responses on email lists, manner of querying other candidates a little abrasive, How do you think despite your good capabilities if elected this approach of yours would help build good team spirit and comaraderie with other members [16:50:07] I was just curious by the wording of that answer. so let it go. [16:50:33] Any more questions ? [16:50:43]
