Celebrating Software Freedom Day this Saturday/Sunday + Bengaluru meetup
by Subhashish Panigrahi 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

Dear all, Maybe this is not the right time to share this. But the w:Software Freedom Day (SFD) is just around the corner and I was wondering if we could gather, celebrate the day and also get to meet the Bengaluru community members. This might be a small gesture to come together with solidarity and stand against the odds of hatred and anger that we all have been witnessing since last two weeks in both the states. SFD is celebrated globally on the third Saturday of September, and this year it is falling on the 17th of this month. A few topics we can discuss can be: * the philosophy of software freedom in our lives * how free and open source software can make a difference in one's life and work * how you can promote FOSS/FLOSS among people around you *And we will try to keep the event as open as possible to discuss anything more that is related to openness, open licensing and software freedom. Please do share here/offlist if you are interested to join. I will be sharing the link to the public wiki soon once at least five-ten people show interest. Best, Subhashish

21 Jun '16

Hey everyone, I wanted to invite all of you to the OpenStreetMap hackweekend on July 2 and 3 in Bangalore being hosted at the Mapbox office. We will spend two full days working on projects like iD, openstreetmap-website, JOSM etc. You can see all the projects and ideas in the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bengaluru_Hack_weekend_July_2016. Pick one or propose your own. If you are in town and want to contribute to OpenStreetMap, this is a great opportunity to get started alongside expert developers on the open mapping stack! Wikimedia projects have already started integrating maps from OSM https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps and this can be a useful space to begin work on ideas for greater collaboration between the communities. Please RSVP (https://osmhackweekend.splashthat.com/) and let me know if you have any questions. Read more: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/osm-hackweekend/ Looking forward! Cheers, Jinal Foflia

by Tito Dutta 29 May '16

29 May '16

Greetings from CIS-A2K, It gives us great pleasure to inform that the Train-the-Trainer 2016 programme <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/20…> organised by CIS-A2K is going to be held from 17-19 June, Bangalore. Train-the-Trainer programme was conceptualised in order to bridge the gap between wiki volunteers/enthusiasts who would like to conduct off reach activities and have been discouraged due to non availability of resources and support. The three day residential event will include presentations by the participants regarding a plan to improve their wiki-projects, expert sessions about conducting effective outreach activities, best practices from the global wiki communities, revised grant structure of WMF, activities to understand WMF strategy and vision, understanding global metrics and coming up with a concrete plan by participants in association with A2K to improve their wiki-projects. A2K invites Wikimedians to apply for this programme. Participants will be selected based on their on wiki and off wiki activities and their responses to the questions asked in the Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1AmbA609Foy5gNLRw1SgK4r0YF8yFwcLLhNdvvrpC1z… Selected participants are required to finish pre-work assigned to them without fail. Please fill the Google form given below and write to us at tanveer(a)cis-india.org, tito(a)cis-india.org and rahim(a)cis-india.org for more details. Regards,
