Liam Wyatt's visit to India
by Arun Ramarathnam 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Dear Wikimedians, It's a pleasure to inform you all that Liam Wyatt<http://www.wittylama.com/>will be visiting India between 12th and 19th Feb to focus on GLAM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_(industry_sector)>related initiatives here. Liam's visit to India is intended to support wikimedia communities to explore the possibilities of collaborating with Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) in strengthening articles on wikipedia of mutual interest. Liam recently became a Wikimedia Fellow - http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/19/announcing-our-glam-fellow-liam-w… Liam was the wikipedian in residence<http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/07/10/the-royal-cup-bridges-wikipedia-a…> at the British Museum last year. Liam has been focussed on GLAM and was the convener of the GLAM-WIKI <http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/GLAM-WIKI>event held in Australia in August 2009. It is great to have Liam visiting us. He will be visiting Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. We hope to make the most of Liam's visit to create more awareness for GLAM amongst wikipedians and connect with GLAM stakeholders wherever possible. Liam will also be speaking at the ICLAM<http://www.nift.ac.in/ICLAM_2011/index.htm>conference on the 15th. For coordinating events during his visit, I have create a GLAM project page on the India wiki, to help us all get started: http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Projects:GLAM_2011 There are city specific pages, each of which has a planning page. We look forward to all your support and active participation to organize events and meeting in various cities. Wikipedians are requested to join the discussions in the planning pages for each city. . regards Arun Bangalore, India www.twitter.com/arunram

[Copying the announcement] Starting Point: Brahmins' Coffee Bar, Shankarapuram Ending Point: Gandhi Bazaar Circle. Unlike previous photo walks, in this edition for a change we will start the walk by having breakfast at Brahmins' Coffee Bar. Then we will criss cross in Basavanagudi to cover various landmarks like Shankara Mutta, Ramakrishna Ashrama, Bull Temple, Krishnarao park etc. ( mentioned in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basavanagudi ) Here's the approximate route map: http://maps.google.co.in/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0 &msid=205763748212391757461.0004998bb705dbbeafcc1&ll =12.949231%2C77.569656&spn=0.023505%2C0.038581&z=15 This walk will be second edition of Bangalore-loves-Wikipedia initiative. Please tag your photographs wiith "bangaloreloveswiki". In case of any queries feel free to call Sandeep at 9845753994. More info on: http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Bangalore_loves_Wikipedia/Feb-5-2011 Also, a note about the Wikipedia loves Bangalore #1: We had an overwhelming response to the last edition with hundreds of photos coming in. We're in the process of sorting out this huge number of photos to upload the best ones to commons (as there are redundant ones of the same). Volunteers are invited and are most welcome to take part in the selection process as well. Please write back to me off-the-list for this. -- Hari Prasad Nadig http://hpnadig.net | http://twitter.com/hpnadig http://flickr.com/hpnadig

Wikimedia on Campus
by Swaroop Rao 19 Jan '11

Hello all, Its just been a few days since the Tenth Anniversary celebrations got over, and I bet everyone's still tired from that. Anyway, i've seen this Campus Ambassador program on the English Wikipedia, and I was wondering: Is it already in India? If there is already a plan to conduct workshops/talks in colleges, then it would be great if you guys could let me know about it. If such a plan isn't there yet, then probably we could start off. Most engineering colleges in the city start the next semester from february 1 onwards, so we could probably organise events in march or something. I can help in organising such an event in my college (RVCE) and in PESIT. Let me know how this sounds. Best, Swaroop G Rao
