Deal all,
As a part of helping the community to reach out to more people apart from
the presentations, handouts, FAQs and mailing list support we also have
need for more visuals. Audio/Video clips containing Indian Wikipedians
sharing their message "I EDIT WIKIPEDIA" or "I EDIT AN INDIAN LANGUAGE
WIKIPEDIA" or "WIKIPEDIA IS HELPING ME DOCUMENTING MY HERITAGE" will create
impact among people and motivate them to contribute to Wikipedia. Many
people use Wikipedia in a daily basis without being aware of they can also
[Edit] it, social media, Youtube, mails containing link to such a video can
be used to reach this message to them. Moreover, such videos which are
already there in Outreach (outreach.wikimedia.org) Bookshelf might make
some people feel it's project being managed by some foreigners. Seeing some
real Indians editing Wikipedia with the Main page of an Indian language
background will definitely make this message clearer.
If there is a fairly good no of community members located in anywhere in
India (e.g Pune, Bangalore and Mumbai community) we can ask the community
members say it altogether aloud apart from one/two community members
speaking in their own language. I will be posting the details in the
community village pumps, you are allowed to send as many people's footage
as you can provided the video and audio quality are reasonable good. We
will be collecting footage from all the communities and do a post
production.

Hi all,
Apologies for much delay for the report on Bangalore
Wikimeetup 41 / Wiki Eleven Celebrations.
The Bangalore Wikimeetup 41 / Wiki Eleven Celebrations was held at the
office of The Centre for Internet & Society, Domlur , Bangalore ( also
the India chapter official office) on 15 Jan 2012, Sunday 4-6 PM. [1]
The regular second Sunday Bangalore meetup of January was postponed to
the third Sunday, to coincide with the Wikipedia 11th anniversary.
The Bangalore Meetup banner which we had used for a whole year, got a
small promotion this year. [2] :)
Only 11 people attended the meetup, thanks to popular festivals like
Pongal and Sankranthi falling on the same weekend. You may compare this
with attendance of 250+ participants for the 10 the anniversary
celebrations in Bangalore, a year ago. [3]
The participants introduced themselves, after which Arun Ramaratnam led
the meetup with an introduction to Bangalore Meetups and Wikipedia 11th
anniversary. We also experimented Google hangout with other cities in
India, who were conducting similar events [4]. Unfortunately, the
audio-video quality wasn't very good, probably due to the low internet
bandwidth. Nevertheless, It was great to see the live celebrations
happening in the different parts of India.
The Wikimedia India chapter also completed its first anniversary of
official operations. The Chapter President, Arjuna Rao Chavala explained
the history of the chapter and its future plans. Naveen P Francis
announced the launch of the revamped Wikimedia India Portals and the
project gateways.
The Kannada SIG Chair, Omshiva Prakash briefed about the recent Kannada
Wikipedia 9th Anniversary celebrations, held in Bangalore, earlier that
week. The crowd discussed on how to intensify the outreach work around
Bangalore and in India.
The last, but not the least, was the most awaited part - Wiki 11
celebrations cake cutting ! [5] . The meetup concluded with the
customary group photo sessions [6]. A full collection of meetup photos
can be found here [7]
We thank everyone who attended the meetup and celebrations.
Regards
Tinu Cherian

Hello!
The first Wiki Academy in PSR Rengaswamy College of engineering for Women,
Sivakasi was conducted on Jan 20th. An impressive total of 68 students,
primarily consisting of 2nd and 3rd year engg students attended this
workshop. The Principal of the college, Dr K Ramaswamy gave a short talk
and welcomed the participants and the speaker.
The session started off with a small introduction on what Wikipedia is and
the core values and philosophies behind Wikipedia, how it is edited by
millions of people across the world and how all the content on the site is
completely free. The 5 pillars of Wikipedia i.e the fundamental principles
by which Wiki operates on were also explained. The students were initially a
little hesitant to interact but soon were asking pertinent and valid
questions about the topic.
Once the basics were covered, a short presentation on approaching Wikipedia
as a reader was held. Editing of wikipedia was explained next followed by a
hands-on session where the students were taught the basics of editing
Wikipedia. The students were very responsive to this session. Small prizes
like Wiki stickers were given out for mini-contests that were held during
this session. A vast majority of the students seemed to quickly understand
the intuitive UI especially considering that they were all familiar with
formatting in MS Word. The students made minor edits to articles as the
session drew to a close.
A google group has been setup for future correspondance. The students along
with the help of the faculty coordinators who were present said they will
work on improving the Sivakasi wiki page.
The feedback forms (i will collate the data from here and post it shortly)
were collected and few photos from the event were taken. I'll post the pics
on the wiki page for the academy soon as i don't have the camera with me
currently. Brochures were handed out to all the participants.
Judging by the feedback received and the response from the students, i'd
say the event was a success. It is important to carry forward this
initiative and bring out an interest in participating in contributing to
Wikipedia and i will make sure that this happens. I'd like to thank Ms
Nitika Tandon, Mr Naveen PF and Mr Arjuna Rao Chavala for their help. This
was my first Wiki Academy and i really profited from their help. Conducting
the academy solo was quite a challenging but rewarding experience.
Also as a footnote i'd like to point that the session was delayed because
the Wiki editor kept crashing IE 6. Sadly, the computers in the lab had no
other browsers apart from IE 6. This wasn't a roadblock i expected and i
think should be added to the list of preparations in this
page<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Nitika.t/Outreach>.
We managed to get an admin password for the computers and hastily installed
Firefox so that the session could complete without any further
hitches...and it did!
Looking forward to conducting more such academies in the future.
Thank you!
-Sohan Maheshwar

Hi all,
Wikimania is the annual international conference of Wikimedians
, jointly hosted by the local team ( usually local chapter) and the
Wikimedia Foundation.
The previous conferences were held in Frankfurt, Germany (2005), Boston,
USA (2006), Taipei, Taiwan (2007), Alexandria, Egypt (2008), Buenos
Aires, Argentina (2009), Gdan'sk, Poland (2010), and Haifa, Israel (2011).
This year, it is to be held in Washington DC, United States of America,
on July 12-14 , 2012. http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
<http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>
I have attended the Wikimanias in Gdansk and Haifa, along with several
other Wikipedians from India.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011
<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011>
I highly recommend everyone to apply and attend Wikimania !
Like every year, The Wikimedia Foundation is offering a limited number
of scholarships to offset the cost of select individuals' attendance at
Wikimania.
Both full and partial scholarships are available for Wikimania 2012:
Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms
accommodations and registration.
Partial scholarships will subsidize up to 300EUR of travel expenses.
Scholarship recipients have to bear themselves the additional costs of
taxis, visa & travel agent charges etc.
More Information : http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships
<http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships>
Apply here : https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/
<https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/>
Deadline : *16 Feb 2012*
Around 30 % of the scholarship are allocated to Asia & Pacific, so there
are more chances of scholarship applications from India to be selected. :)
Please note that the selection is mostly based on the merit of the
applications.
One of the common mistakes that Wikimedians in India make is that we
aren't enough vocal of what we do. So please do write in detail about
your Wikimedia activities.
Please feel free to forward this to various language and city mailing
lists and encourage other Wikimedians to apply.
All the best wishes!
Regards
Tinu Cherian
