Hi Bishaka
Where can we get a copy of the film: "'Truth in Numbers' to do a screening?
I could plan an event in Mangalore and maybe one in Goa (Nirmala institute
of Education) we have been working with them on the OLPC programme. It is
a teacher training college which has its sister organisation in Mangalore
(Roshni Nilaya).
I could build on what Hari has done earlier at St Aloysius and St
Agnes....if
he still has the list of earlier participants to the wiki academy event.
*For item 2*. Municipal schools.
DBF works with two colleges in Mumbai where student volunteers will be going
to the Govt schools in Raigad district during Dec and Jan.
Rekha who is subscribed to this list should be able to dovetail it with
their programmes as she now handles DBF projects.
She's on leave now but will talk to her when she gets back..
These are primary schools but their teachers could be enthused to contribute
and use wiki.
.
Do call the folks at Reliance Webstores. I'm sure they can help in a major
way getting students to come to their RWorlds for translation Jams ... they
have broadband facilities and Video Conferencing to connect folk.
if you have a good proposal with a WIIFM... they may be able to partner in
the !0th year celebration in some way.
regards
Harriet
PS: My own knowledge is rather rudimentary and I need to learn way more
about it all myself first before diving in at the deep end!

Both sound like good possibilities - I saw Truth
In Numbers at wikimania
in
Gdansk; it's almost 90 minutes.
Harriet: any thoughts on 2, given your experience with the Digital Bridge
Foundation, OLPC?
(We could do both 1 and 2 if enough wikipedians enter the fray).
Should we keep the conversation going on the list, wait for other ideas to
emerge, and meet before November end to take this forward?
Cheers
Bishakha

hi,
January 15, 2011 is a Saturday. It would be worth doing the event here in
Mumbai.
Possible ideas:
1. Possible screening of the Truth in Numbers:
http://www.truthinnumbersthemovie.com/
<http://www.truthinnumbersthemovie.com/>2. Introducing Wikipedia to
Municipal Schools:
http://www.karmayog.com/lists/awardschool.htm - in
Marathi, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil and Kannada wikipedias which medium schools
are
present in Mumbai.
<http://www.karmayog.com/lists/awardschool.htm>2 a. Enlist help from
organisations which does computer literacy drives in municipal schools.
2 b. Enlist help from language wikipedians to go to these schools and
introduce Wikipedia - perhaps over a week?
warm regards,
Pradeep
