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!

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