He formerly worked with [https://cis-india.org/a2k Access To Knowledge (CIS-A2K)] as a Program Manager from April 2023 to April 2025, and before that served at Quora as a Community Manager and Legal Support Specialist between August 2019 and January 2023.

In this conversation, Pavan will focus on reimagining how Wikimedia communities engage and collaborate beyond the movement, moving past traditional outreach models toward more meaningful and reciprocal partnerships. He will also emphasize the importance of understanding the needs, priorities, and contexts of external communities—rather than merely inviting them to contribute—so that collaborations are built on shared goals and mutual benefit. Further, the conversation will address open licensing, re-licensing, and knowledge sharing practices, with a particular focus on how academic institutions, archives, libraries, and galleries can be encouraged to participate willingly in open knowledge creation by responsibly opening up their collections. Through these reflections, the session aims to foster dialogue on sustainable, inclusive, and two-way collaborations that strengthen the open knowledge ecosystem beyond Wikimedia.

In this conversation, Pavanp will focus on reimagining how Wikimedia communities engage and collaborate beyond the movement, moving past traditional outreach models toward more meaningful, reciprocal partnerships. The discussion will critically examine MediaWiki as a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) platform and explore why parts of the wider FOSS community do not fully recognize it as such, highlighting gaps and possibilities for alignment. It will also emphasize the importance of understanding the needs, priorities, and contexts of external communities—rather than merely inviting them to contribute—so that collaborations are built on shared goals and mutual benefit.

She formerly worked with the Centre for Internet and Society for more than a decade. She is a researcher working in the areas of digital media and cultures, open knowledge, arts and humanities scholarship and pedagogy, gender, and digital rights.

In this conversation, Sneha will reflect on the evolving landscape of the digital knowledge commons, especially in the context of expanding digitisation efforts and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. She will discuss how ongoing archival and open knowledge projects contribute to sustaining the commons, the emerging challenges related to ownership, access, and ethics, and the broader questions about the nature of knowledge creation and dissemination in multilingual contexts. We will also explore how underrepresented Indian languages navigate these technological shifts, the implications for equity and participation, and what these developments mean for the future of open digital knowledge ecosystems.

As knowledge ecosystems increasingly shift online, questions of whose voices are represented, how systemic bias shapes narratives, and how communities can reclaim storytelling spaces become ever more urgent. In this session, we will explore the role of community-driven knowledge in resisting bias, the persistence of exclusionary structures across digital platforms, and the possibilities digital humanities offer for inclusive and equitable participation. Aligned with the Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy—particularly the goals of ensuring equity in decision-making, promoting knowledge equity, and innovating in free knowledge practices—this Conversation Hour will invite us to reflect on how Wikimedia communities can challenge systemic bias, amplify marginalized voices, and build more resilient and representative knowledge systems for the future. Drawing on her expertise at the crossroads of literature, technology, and culture, Shanmugapriya will guide us in rethinking the role of narratives in shaping free knowledge and in strengthening Wikimedia’s mission of equity and inclusion.
