Wikimedia Conference 2016
The Conference has a very distinct Indian flavor and deals primarily with issues relating to India on Wikipedia and its sister projects.
The main objective is to reduce the gap between different communities and get help from other community members on technical issues and other things like best practices in decision making and how we resolve the disputes in the community.
