Supported. I would request you to consider having this event only in cities
which did not host Asaf/which did not have any events from Wikimedia India
in the last 2 years. That way, we will specifically target locations that
need growth.

Regards,
Soni

Greetings everyone,
I've planned for series of edit-a-thons i n India, in the coming year i.e.
2018. I've planned for 8 Edit-a-thons (5 Wikipedia, 2 Wikidata and 1
Wikisource) across India under the title "Edit-a-thon series 2018 (India)".
The primary aim to conduct these events to activate the Wikimedia
communities all over India, especially in regions we hardly have any
communities, like the Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, North-eastern states etc. and
also give a kick-start to the less imparted projects such as Wikidata and
Wikisource for the Indian Wikimedia community. Asaf from WMF has already
given a boost to Wikidata by conducting a national-wide tour. I would to
extend this to communities which were unable to receive Asaf's visit.
In this context, I've applied for grant under *Project Grant *under Round 2
2017 schedule. The application is located at https://goo.gl/NQh3JE. Please
review and endorse my proposal kindly.
Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya Velaga.

Since I have been listed as an advisor, I recuse myself from endorsement.
:) Let the community decide whether to support or not per each person's
judgement.
