Hi, There is a factual error. I am not employed with Prajavani. I write just one column per week as freelancer. Regards, Pavanaja From: wikimedia-in-blr-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikimedia-in-blr-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Srikanth Ramakrishnan Sent: 13 May 2014 12:50 To: Wikimedia India Community list Cc: Kannada Wikipedia Discussion List wikikn-l(a)wikipedia.org; Mailing list for Wikimedians / Wikipedians in Bangalore, India Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-in-blr] [Wikimediaindia-l] On CIS's grants request from Wikimedia Foundation Hi all, I have one important question here. The Foreign Contribution Regulatory Act prohibits money received from abroad to be used as payments or salaries to anyone employed with the press or media. I believe Dr. Pavanaja is a columnist for Prajavani. How does this work out? It's just a preemptive question. On 12 May 2014 17:45, Hari Prasad Nadig <hpnadig(a)gmail.com> wrote: Fellow Wikimedians, As you all know, Center for Internet and Society, Bangalore has sought funding of about 1.8 Crores through the FDC process from Wikimedia Foundation to carry out work on seven local language projects in India that includes Kannada, Telugu among others. [1] The funds primarily cover the salaries of the people belonging to the CIS-A2K team among other administrative expenses and other expenses as outlined on their proposal page. The proposal was up for Community review and comments until April 30th and many have recorded their response about it [2]. Several community members have come forward in pointing out that the staff salaries being paid and that being proposed - are quite on the higher side (which is up to 2.4 Lakhs per month per person). Apart from the concerns on extremely high salaries for Indian norms of the team members of CIS-A2K team, there have been some serious concerns raised about some apparent Conflict of Interest [3] and non-compliance with the local laws (mainly Karnataka Societies act and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). However, looks like the proposal has moved forward through the FDC process for funding despite the concerns raised and has gotten through to the next stage. More concerns have now been raised by several community members on the Staff Assessment discussion page here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/… I invite you to participate in the discussion and help steer this in the right direction.

Mysore University Encyclopaedia under CC-BY-SA
by Pavanaja U B 12 May '14

12 May '14

namaste, It is with great pleasure that we announce the re-release of first 6 volumes of Kannada Encyclopaedia published by Mysore University under Creative Commons License CC-BY-SA 3.0. CIS-A2K has been following up with the Mysore University since months requesting them to re-release the encyclopaedia under CC. Being convinced of the importance of preserving the rich culture and heritage of Kannada, Mysore University has approved the conversion into Unicode and re-release of the encyclopaedia under CC to make it freely available to Kannadigas all over the world. This is a great achievement for CIS-A2K programme and Wikimedia India community. We are extremely thankful to Prof. K. S. Rangappa, Vice-Chancellor of Mysore University for realising the importance of growing free and open knowledge in Kannada. Thanks are also due to the Mysore University faculty and officials, specifically Prof. S. Ravi (Director, PMEB), Prof C. Basavaraju (Ex Registrar), Prof. N. M. Talawar (Director, Institute of Kannada Studies), Prof Hati Krishne Gowda (then Chief Editor of Mysore University Encyclopaedia project) and others. CIS-A2K will be converting the encyclopaedia into Unicode and uploading it on Kannada Wikisource; that will feed into articles on Kannada Wikipedia. Thanks and regards, Pavanaja U.B. Pavanaja, MSc, PhD Programme Officer <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pavanaja> - Indian languages, Access to Knowledge program The Centre for Internet & Society

Dear friends, I am pleased to inform you that today the Urdu Wikipedia has crossed the 50,000 articles mark. I am honoured to be a humble contributor of this Wikipedia which has reached a dream milestone which is yet to be covered by many other Wikipedias. The focus, as the community feels, will now shift on referencing and elaborating many of the existing articles to satisfactory levels. Also, the next target is to cross the 1,00,000 articles mark. Regards, Muzammil.
