Explain your plan edit

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you.

I request this support on behalf of the Wikipedia club in my college, VVIT WikiConnect. We've organized several outreach activities including edit-a-thons, photo-walks etc. We are a group of around twenty editors contributing to various Wikimedia projects. We plan to do more outreach activities in the coming academic year as proposed at: Grants:Project/Rapid/VVIT WikiConnect/Annual Plan (2018–2019). We're now using our personal laptops for outreach activities & weekly/bi-weekly meetups. Having a laptop for the group will make the maintenance more easier, help us to performing more efficiently.
We also intend to share this among the students, who are active on Wikimedia projects, and are in need of hardware support.

Endorsements edit

I think this program could help students who don't have required hardware for working in Wiki Projects but could do really well if they got assistance from the Foundation, to make that happen. I endorse and support this initiative--Wikilover90 (talk) 09:22, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
