  10.   Support (as one of the proposers) This is an important event for a community that only has one-two chances to meet in person as a larger community, and leverage events like these for team building. Often times, stepping stones for collaboration with potential partners, content donors, and the government happen during such occasions. --Subhashish Panigrahi (talk) 11:57, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

  14.   Strong support -- Offline meetings have always resulted in discussing new ideas and strategies for the Odia community. While Odia community turned 15 last year, the community was not able to celebrate the anniversary. This support from WMF will not only help Odia community to celebrate its 16 years journey but will also help to discuss about new and existing partnerships and many other projects. --Sailesh Patnaik 18:01, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
