• I'm happy to see that Mastermindanand has the opportunity to participate in this conference as a member of the Wikimedia Nashik community who can share his real world experience using Wikipedia.The organizers of the conference were very interested in having Wikimedia community members who could share practical experience. I think it's also important for the community to have a presence in this event, especially as the WMF remains committed to supporting emerging communities.
