But we believed in what US President Franklin D Roosevelt said-<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u201cA smooth sea never made skilled sailors\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The endless debates, rigorous discussions and pestering message notifications finally paid off well, as we present the official WAPUU \u2018DEEPUU\u2019 for the WordCamp Delhi 2017 which the WCD Team believes to convey the true spirit of Delhi- Global Outlook with Vibrant Diversity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>THE STORY BEHIND DEEPUU<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What comes to your mind when you think about Delhi? Probably Monuments like 72.5 meters high Qutub Minar or the historical Red Fort from where India made a tryst with destiny 70 years ago or Democracy or Diversity or Vision or Pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the common perception about <\/span><b>Delhi Dilwalon ki <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which is friendly and is an<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">opportunity to soar high. Delhi is a rich blend of majestic history and<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">skyrocketing modernisation. It attracts everyone and gives them a baggage full of memories to look back with a smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delhi is Youth, Delhi is Vitality, Delhi is Democracy, Delhi is Exciting and Delhi is the Power of the People, by the People and for the People. And so is our \u201cDEEPUU\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>THE DEEPUU VISION<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DEEPUU- a very common name in Delhi reflects the essence of the common people. The name itself speaks of the sweet, bubbly and lovely imagery which is destined to enthrall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deepuu has a Long Range Global Vision with her shades providing a filter to the negativity and the blazing heat here in Delhi. Deepuu has a baggage full of surprises for all the attendees of the #WCD_2017. Deepuu stands for passion, brotherhood, knowledge for all, unity, diversity, globalization and the energy that the people of Delhi have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>STORY OF WORDCAMP DELHI 2017 WAPUU&#8217;S DESIGN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A contest was started on 9<sup>th<\/sup> July to design WordCamp Delhi\u2019s Wapuu in which we received a lot of beautiful entries and this was the first entry that was released by <strong>Ashutosh Gaur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3136 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/2017.delhi.wordcamp.org\/files\/2017\/08\/Wapuu1-e1501595664654.jpg\" alt=\"Wapuu1\" width=\"400\" height=\"442\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We were really pleased to receive so many entries and appreciate the hard work of all the guys who submitted the entries.
