Dear friends,
You may be aware that we (my family) have released a font family earlier.
Here is some background if you are not aware of it.
On the first death Anniversary of Yogini Joglekar(my aunt), our family
released AksharYogini (Normal) Font on 1st Nov. 2006. This font is
primarily for Marathi language but can also be used for Hindi (for any
language using Devanagari). It also has English support. Later on, on the
occasion of Gudhipadwa (Chaitra Shuddha 1, 1931; that is 27th March 2009) ,
we released the additional fonts to complete the "AksharYogini font
family". This font family was/is made available on the site
http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com for free usage/distribution/sharing.
Today, on the occasion of Eighth Death Anniversary of Yogini Joglekar, we
are now releasing an updated "AksharYogini font". This font is also
available on the same website http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com
This is an updated font and has support for the new (MS Windows) operating
systems where the internal mechanism for font rendering is changed. Also,
it has additional characters for the current Unicode standard and the Rupee
Sign is also included.
Most important is the licensing. The new release is under the Open Font
License. As such, all Linux distributions will be able to freely use it in
their packaging.
Please feel free to use, share, distribute the new font. You can download
it from http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com .
Give us feedback on my email id or the official id for the font "
aksharyogini at sudhanwa.com " You can also comment on the guestbook on the
website.
Do share this news and also the font.
Wishing you a Very Happy Diwali !!
Thanks and regards
-Sudhanwa

Dear all,
It is an honour and pleasure to announce that CIS-A2K is getting 11 Odia books of notable Odia litterateur Ramakrushna Nanda under CC-by-SA 4.0. 11 of these books contain an encyclopedia, a series of 8 story books, an Odia grammar book, and an essay book. These books will be useful both for Odia Wikisource and Odia Wikipedia. Our greatest regard to the late author.
To thank Nanda's family, we interviewed and made a small documentary with their reaction about bringing these books on Wikisource:

Dear all,
Odia Wikisource went live yesterday and is available at:
https://or.wikisource.org. It was in the main Wikisource for about 1.9
years and has an active community consisting 8 contributors. So far almost
3 books have been digitized. Recently a few new contributors joined and
are digitizing Odia Bhagabata.
CIS-A2K congratulates the community and thank all the contributors,
Wikimedia Language Committee, Wikimedia Foundation Board and all the
Wikimedians who have helped to set up the wiki.
A brief post on this:
