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

Dear Friends,

of the idea of 'Copyleft' , he has contributed majorly to revolutionising
the field of software by imagining and creating an alternative to the world
of proprietary software and technology. Mr. Stallman's visit to Chennai,
after a considerable gap, will be an excellent occasion for the
academicians, students and professionals of the city to gain inspiration
and advice from a legendary figure and also interact with fellow
enthusiasts, all of which, we are sure, will be a life-changing experience
for many.

spread awareness of the importance and advantages of free software in
various fields such as education, public policy and health care. Our
activities include workshops, community computing centres and partnerships
with institutions in the use and promotion of free software. It is in this
context that we are honoured to host such a famous figure.
This would be an ideal opportunity to like-minded groups, organizations,
technical groups, users groups, and its members in and around Chennai to
join hands and utilize this opportunity to spread the knowledge on Free
Software to as many people as we can. If you as an individual feel you can
help us in any possible means, we would be happy to have you with us.

Hi,
I am uploading the images to commons.
The default category is "TamilWiki Media Contest"
Want to add more categories for the images.
Adding, the categories using HotCat
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-HotCat
is so boring and tough.
Is there any possibilities for adding categories for multiple images
in a single go?
