India Programs: Reaching Out
by Hisham Mundol 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi Folks I am writing to all of you to correct a potential error. As you might be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation has set itself an important objective of supporting the community in India to expand participation. As part of this, India Programs has been set up - and I work for it. I have put together a plan for India (please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs) - and I had communicated this on the India mailing list. This has generated interest as well as debate and discussion. However, I understand that some of you might not be on that mailing list. I therefore thought I'd correct this by reaching out directly to you and requesting you to have a look at the page and share your comments (on the Talk Page or on this mailing list or directly to me; my contact details are in my signature.) It outines the thinking behind India Programs, key initiatives, milestones, team structure, visit reports, IRC logs, recommendations on office location and some other details. I hope you find it interesting, and I'd love to hear your views / comments / suggestions. Also, we I have a monthly IRC on India Programs with whoever is interested - on the first Thursday of every month. I'll send out an invite to your mailing list from now on. Do see if you can join in. I am also going to try and attend as many community meet-ups in as many locations as possible - so I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible, as soon as possible. If you would be kind enough to let me know when the next meeting is planned for and on what schedule (e.g. 2nd Saturday, etc.) then I'll work out how to attend asap. (Do excuse me if you have received this message through other mailing lists, or it's a bit of a duplication if you are already on the India mailing list.) Thank You. Warm Regards, Hisham Mundol Wikimedia Foundation India Programs skype: hisham.wikimedia gtalk: hmundol(a)wikimedia.org twitter: @mundol

ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದ ಲೋಗೋ ಮತ್ತು ಹೆಸರು
by Harish 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರೇ, ೧) ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದ ಲೋಗೋವನ್ನು ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ "ಒಂದು ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ" ಎಂದು ಇದೆ. ಇದು ಸರಿಯೋ, ಅಥವಾ ಮೊದಲಿದ್ದ "ಒಂದು ಮುಕ್ತ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ" ಸರಿಯೋ? ೨) ಬಹುತೇಕ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪುಟದ ಶೀರ್ಷಿಕೆಗೆ (Page title) ಆಯಾ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ ಎಂದು ಇದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಆಂಗ್ಲದಲ್ಲಿ "Wikipedia" ಎಂದಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಬದಲಾಯಿಸುವುದು ಸೂಕ್ತವಲ್ಲವೆ? ಇವೆರಡರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಗಳೇನು?

Hello, I'm trying to see which plug-in has been used to transliterate to Kannada in the search box of Kannada Wikipedia.. Can any one please give some information on this? It would be nice if any document on this integration is available.. -Sumant "ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಕಾರಿಯಾಗುವುದಕ್ಕಿಂದ ಮೊದಲು ನೀನು ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಾಗಬೇಕು, ದುರ್ಬಲರು ಯಾರೇ ಅಗಲಿ ಅವರಿಗಾಗಿ ಶ್ರಮಿಸಬೇಕು".- ಜೇನ್ ಫೊಂಡಾ

Bangalore Wikimeetup 30 with Hisham Mundol on 25 Feb 2011

Hi, Hisham Mundol was recently hired [1] as an consultant to the Wikimedia Foundation to support the program initiatives in India. Hisham Mundol will be primarily based in India and will be working closely with the Wikimedian community in India. Hisham Mundol is coming to Bangalore to connect with the Wikimedian community in Bangalore. Date : *Friday, 25-Feb-2011 6:30 PM IST * Venue: The Centre for Internet and Society No. 194, 2nd 'C' Cross, 4th Main Domlur 2nd Stage Opposite to Domlur Club Bangalore 560 071 Karnataka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore30 Do plan to attend and kindly sign up. About Hisham Mundol : *Hisham Mundol's role will be to design and implement specific pilot programs that encourage many more Indians to become contributors to our projects in Indic languages as well as English. The National Programs initiative will focus on the following areas in the first year:* *Design and implement an India-wide program to increase Wikimedia’s footprint on university and college campuses with students and faculty with the aim of encouraging contributions to Wikimedia projects* *Support the launch and implementation of community-initiated programs that seek to increase the editor base for Wikimedia projects* *Engage with the community and chapter to build a strong relationship among these stakeholder groups and create communications forums that allow for effective partnerships* *As a newcomer to the Wikimedia movement, Hisham’s first task will be to deepen his understanding of us: our history, goals, values, culture and mission. * * * *Hisham was most recently a consultant with the Public Health Foundation of India (in a partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). He designed and implemented large-scale national programs on HIV/AIDS prevention. He worked to understand the dynamics of hard-to-reach communities by conducting in-depth, on-the-ground analysis (ask him to tell you about his experience talking to drivers while sitting under their trucks). The programs he designed and implemented sought to convince people in large numbers - 400 million young people across the nation - to change very personal behaviours. While we are not tackling issues of such an intimate nature, we do aim to convince large numbers of people across the country to contribute their personal time to Wikimedia projects. During this assignment, Hisham worked closely with public, private and community groups (local and international) to work through the details of the programs and build partnerships for implementing them at scale. He did so in a manner that used persuasion rather than power to build support to move things forward. We think his experience navigating these varied groups position him well to work in the Wikimedia community. His earlier career was in marketing and business development with a number of well-known businesses: Infosys, Accenture, Cadbury and Unilever. This experience positions him well to engage with a movement and organization that is global in nature, in particular to work with a team that is based halfway around the world. * ( Introduction by Barry Newstead , GCDO , Wikimedia Foundation) [1] Regards Tinu Cherian [1] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-February/002239.… [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FAQ_Consultancy_for_National_Programs,_India
