Dear All,<br>
<br>
I am happy to inform you Wikimedia Bangladesh (WMBD) has arranged a two day<br>
(February 16 & 17, 2014) Wikipedia program with Grameen Phone (A Telenor<br>
concern). Grameen Phone is the largest telecommunication company based in<br>
Bangladesh. Besides, in Bangladesh Grameen Phone & Banglalink (A Orascom<br>
Telecom and VimpelCom Ltd concern) now provide <a href="http://zero.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">zero.wikipedia.org</a> &<br>
<a href="http://m.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">m.wikipedia.org</a>, which is completely free of cost.<br>
<br>
In this two-day program we will arrange different types of Workshops. WMBD<br>
president Munir Hasan will conduct two seminars on wikipedia. Me & our<br>
another Sysop of Bengali Wikipedia Nasir Khan will jointly run 2/3<br>
workshops. Our target audience 70+ I-Genious student. This all I-Genious<br>
students selected by a year-long program arranged by Grameen Phone & The<br>
Daily Prothom Alo all over the country [1]. On the first day 35 & on the<br>
second day 35 students will join this program. During the program we will<br>
deliver hands on presentations, How to edit, how to contribute, How to<br>
donate photo to commons. Moreover, we will enrich some articles those seem<br>
incomplete..<br>
<br>
After the successful completion of the program all i-Genious students will<br>
receive certificates from WMBD & Grameen Phone.<br>
<br>
In this program we are interested to show a video about wikipedia. It would<br>
be great if anyone can give me a link where i may find the video.<br>
