Hello Hasive vai,
There's a video about Wikipedia, where Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales
depicts the birth of Wikipedia narrates how the free encyclopedia has
become the world's 5th most popular website. I think this video would be
really great to show in such a program where participants/people would get
to know the facts about Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement from its
founder. The link of the video:
http://www.ted.com/talks/jimmy_wales_on_the_birth_of_wikipedia.html
There's a download link on the website from where you can download it.
Anyway, I would love to help in conducting the workshops or other necessary
matters. See you tomorrow at the program.

It sounds like the Contributors event is coming together nicely. WMBD is a
great case study of how our operator partnerships can support the movement
when there is a talented local community. I hope good results come out of
it all.
It would be terrific if some of the iGeniuses become passionate volunteers
for the Bangla Wikipedia. Do you want to track these new volunteers as a
cohort and see how actively they contribute over time? WMF has a tool for
doing this, you just need to get the list of usernames, with permission to
track activity. We will send you the tracking info asap.
And I will ask Victor (WMF storyteller) if he knows of a good general video
about Wikipedia.
Ingrid and I had hoped to support you with some giveaway for the
participants, but we ran out of time to allow for shipping (with possible
customs delays). Is there anything you could procure locally and we could
fund?
Please let me know what you think about all of the above. And good luck!
Carolynne
