Wikimedia Language Engineering Meetups in Pune and Bangalore

by Srikanth Lakshmanan

Hello all, The Wikimedia Language Engineering team[1] invites Indic wikipedians and people who are interested in language support for their wikiprojects for a meetup with us. Language teams are Wikimedia community members with a common interest (compare with SIG) to help improve, provide feedback and help educate our language communities of readers and editors about Wikimedia software enhancements and tools built by the langauge engineering team. This meetup is to get a face-to-face introduction to language technologies available on the Wikimedia websites and learn more about how to best use these. We will be in Pune[2] on the 4th November and Bangalore[3] on 11th November. (For a change a Bangalore Wikimeetup can be held in a different part of city :)). Please sign up on the page, looking forward to meeting you and working together on improving language support :) [1] http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Language_Engineering_team [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Pune_Language_Engineering_Meetup_November_20… [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bangalore_Language_Engineering_Meetup_Novemb… -- Regards Srikanth.L
