Fwd: விக்கிமூலம் பயிற்சி - wikisource training
by balaji 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

வணக்கம், விக்கிமூலத்தில் பல புதிய பயனர்கள் பங்களித்து வருவது மகிழ்ச்சிக்குரிய செய்தி. விக்கிமூலத்தில் பங்களிப்பு செய்வதில் பலர் பல இடர்கள் உள்ளது. பல சந்தேகங்கள் உள்ளது. அதனால் விக்கிமூலத்திற்கு ஒரு பயிற்சி வகுப்பு நடந்தால் சிறப்பாக இருக்கும் என்று கருதப்படுகிறது. இந்த மாதிரி ஒரு பயிற்சி வகுப்பு முதலில் சென்னையில் நடந்தால் நன்றாக இருக்கும் என்று கருதப்படுகிறது. இந்த பயிற்சியை அளிப்பதற்கு CIS-A2K <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/ta> முன்வந்துள்ளது. அவர்கள் சுமார் 20-25 பேருக்கு சென்னையில்/சேலத்தில் (அல்லது தமிழகத்தில் வேரொரு இடத்தில்) பயிற்சி அளிப்பதற்கு முன்வந்துள்ளனர். பயிற்சி அளிப்பதற்காக நீண்ட நாள் விக்கிமூல பங்களிப்பாளர் திரு. செயந்தநாத் <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jayanta_(CIS-A2K)> அவர்கள் கொல்கத்தாவில் இருந்து வந்து பயிற்சி அளிப்பதற்காக தயாராக உள்ளார். அதற்கான செலவுகளை CIS ஏற்க தயாராக உள்ளது. தோராயமாக சூன் 8, 9 அல்லது சூன் 15, 16 ஆகிய இரண்டு நாட்கள் அல்லது வேறு சனி, ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமைகள் முடிவு செய்யப்பட வேண்டும். மேலும் எந்த இடத்தில் பயிற்சியை நடத்தலாம் என்பதற்காகவும் வாக்கெடுப்பு டூடுல் இணையதளத்தில் <https://doodle.com/poll/uvn9wq8ibmmnbmpe> நடைபெறுகிறது. இங்கு தங்கள் விருப்பத்தை தெரிவிக்க வேண்டுகிறேன். என்னென்ன பயிற்சிகள் வேண்டும் என்பதையும் முடிவு செய்யப்பட வேண்டும். இதுவொரு உறைவிட நிகழ்ச்சி. பயணம், தங்குமிடம், உணவு செலவுகளை CIS ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளும். இந்நிகழ்ச்சி தமிழகத்திலுள்ளவர்களுக்கு மட்டும். தமிழகத்தில் வசிக்கும் பிற மொழி விக்கிமூல பங்களிப்பாளர்களும் கலந்துகொள்ளலாம். இந்நிகழ்ச்சியின் ஏற்பாடுகளை இந்த விக்கிமூல பக்கத்தில் <https://ta.wikisource.org/s/8ygl> பார்க்கலாம். மேலும் தங்கள் கருத்துக்களை இந்நிகழ்ச்சியின் பேச்சுப் பக்கத்தில் <https://ta.wikisource.org/s/8ygm> பதிவு செய்யலாம். ஜெ. பாலாஜி. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Balajijagadesh> பின் குறிப்பு: முன்பு பிப்ரவரி மாத்ததில் பயிற்சிக்காக முயன்றோம் சில காரணங்களால் சூன் மாத்ததிற்கு தள்ளி வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. Hello, It is good news that many new contributors are contributing in Tamil wikisource. But there are many doubts for both new and old wikisource contributors. It is felt that there is a need for a separate training for Tamil wikisource community exclusively. Now the CIS-A2K <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K>has come forward to conduct a training session providing all the logistic and financial support for the event for about 25 people. Long term contributor and experienced wikisourcer Mr. Jayanta Nath <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jayanta_(CIS-A2K)> from Kolkata has expressed his consent for the training event. Now since it is a first of such kind training it is felt it would be good if we can organise it in Chennai/Salem. Tentatively training can be planned for 2 days on June 8, 9 or June 15, 16 or other weekends as the community decides. Regarding this a doodle polling is going on. Please indicate your preference through doodle here <https://doodle.com/poll/uvn9wq8ibmmnbmpe>. So we need to decide about the venue, participants list (only from Tamil nadu to be financially supported. other language wikisourcers can also apply), date, schedule need to be finalised. Details of the programs can be seen here <https://ta.wikisource.org/s/8ygl>. Kindly please give the inputs so we can take forward the event. Regards, J. Balaji. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Balajijagadesh> P.S. Initially the event for planned in Feb 2019 but due to some practical reasons the event is postponed to June 2019.

Samir also asked other Wikimedians for suggestions. For Delhi and Patiala event please contact Samir (selsharbaty(a)wikimedia.org ). Event page link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Brand_Project_-_Community_review_… CIS is also providing support for a venue in Delhi, and I am will help in the venue in Delhi. For Bangalore meet support contact me. (gopala(a)cis-india.org) Following the interesting discussion in the mailing list, we would like to invite interested Wikimedians in India to attend the Bangalore event, organised by CIS, on 21 April 2019. If you are an active Wikimedian from India, and want to join the survey, please email to gopala(a)cis-india.org and tito(a)cis-india.org (please send to both) and write in brief the topics/a few questions related to rebranding and strategy you want to discuss in the meet. We are also in the process of arranging hangout calls for more community input. We will give updates about the online call.

Fwd: [Wikimediaindia-l] Updates about Wikimedia Foundation Community brand and marketing coordinator visit to India
by manoj kulkarni 14 Apr '19

Hi, I have some concerns regarding this whole process which, I think, need to be addressed as soon as possible. As far as I have understood, Samir is coming to India to get feedback from the Indian affiliates and communities about the re-branding proposal and report it back to WMF. Re-branding is a very debatable proposal which will definitely affect, in a controversial and unclear way, the future of almost all emerging communities, affiliates and sister projects. So, my questions are, ‌1) Why was information about Samir's trip to India, not declared to the communities well ahead of time so that the communities and affiliates could express their voices and concerns directly with preparation? ‌2) Who decided that visiting only Punjabi, Hindi and Bangalore communities is sufficient enough to provide the feedback of all Indian communities? Why were not other communities and affiliates included in the process? What criteria these three communities met so that they can represent the voices from all over the country and why not other communities consulted about this? ‌Why is Samir staying in Patiala, Delhi and Bangalore for extra days for local sightseeing and not utilizing the days to communicate with other communities and who planned for this kind of schedule? ‌How will it be ensured to provide ample opportunity for community members to express their opinions? Online session is not a good option as many don't have the necessary infrastructure to do so. There is a feeling in the community that re-branding is already a made decision by the WMF and this kind of non-transparency further endorses that theory. Hoping to get positive responses.
