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/
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.
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
