by Srikant Kedia 31 May '12

31 May '12

Dear Wikimedians, Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open at last. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2011 (not for 2012). Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote. Check your eligibility now<http://toolserver.org/%7Epathoschild/accounteligibility/?user=&wiki=&event=…> ! If you meet the criteria, you are eligible to vote. Nearly 600 images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors. For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round the top 32 images , by number of votes, from any category will go to the final round - the categories are irrelevant when it comes to counting the votes. If no picture of one topic category is not in the top 32s, that will be also promoted to the Final to guarantee a diverse final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year. To see the candidate images just go to: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2011/Galleries Wikimedia Commons is interested in hearing your opinions on our featured images of 2011.

India Program: Community Building Pilot Update: Fantastic Story from Assam
by Hisham 30 May '12

30 May '12

Dear All I wanted to share with you an update on the work that Shiju[1] is doing on Indic languages[2] as part of India Program.[3] A guiding principle for the thinking and efforts of our team is that community building should be the most essential aspect of all the work that we do. In the context of small Indic communities, Shiju has been working to try and identify the various elements that need to come together to foster community building. This update is about the Community Building pilot[4] that was run for the Assamese community. For context, community building means different things to different people and in fact there was a very interesting post[5] that Shiju put out that articulated his thinking on this and, hence, our priorities. The results of these efforts have been outstanding number of editors on Assamese Wikipedia has increased to 31 in April 2012 (from 18 in December 2011 and just 10 in November 2011.) number of Wikiprojects increased to 6 (from a situation where there were no reasonably active ones in December 2011- and including 5 Wikiprojects independently conceptualised and managed by the community) average monthly edits on Assamese Wikipedia increased to about 5000 in April 2012 from around 3000 in November 2011 There are 5 key factors that are responsible for this remarkable growth Strong communication. This started with Shiju building personal connections with Assamese editors and then encouraging them to communicate with each other on-wiki, online and in meet--ups and outreach sessions. Initial push. Shiju visited Assam in January where he spent time in 2 towns with 7 of the most active community members, who also conducted 2 outreach sessions. This visit has proved to be really useful because it helped to energise the community and also helped to establish a personal relationship between Shiju and these editors (and also, amongst the editors themselves.) Encouraging collaboration. Wikiprojects and outreach are really useful to galvanise a community and helped build personal equations. It's wonderful to see the increase in Wikiprojects and Building capacity & confidence. In all the work that has been done for the Assamese community, the endeavour has been to build capacity. For instance, support was given to get basic outreach material including FAQs prepared and outreach sessions were guided by Shiju. It's inspiring to see the Assamese community now take things to a whole new level and plan out an ambitious 10th anniversary.[6] Healthy environment. This is the last - but probably the most essential point - and it is something I want to call out because it is what will help or severely hinder the abilities of individual communities realise their dreams and potential. The reason why the Assamese community is making such wonderful steps forward is because there is a set of editors with the right level of initiative and motivation a strong sense of co-operation and good spirit amongst the editors an extremely welcoming approach to new editors None of this would have been possible without the efforts of every single Assamese community members. In the early days when Shiju started off, he was interacting with Bishnu, Dipankar, Gitartha, Jyoti & Prabhakar - who helped organise the first meet-ups and outreach sessions. Thanks to their efforts, a list of thank-yous would now be 31 strong! Thank you and congratulations to all of you! To the Assamese community, I wish you the very best for your 10th anniversary.[6] There are exciting plans including your photo contest and your article contest and the meet-up and the outreach session. I know that you are doing most of the event largely independently (with Noopur[7] providing media assistance for the 10th anniversary and an India Chapter[8] grant[9] supporting you.) This is the true signs of a community that is coming of age. There are tremendous opportunities in outreach to get new editors, initiatives like your article & photo contests to improve content and in proposed projects like offline to make transformational changes in the community. With regard to the way forward for India Program, the pilot design page[4] on meta[3] has now been updated. The next steps are going to be to see how we can adapt or build on these experiences with other communities, and as we move to other communities, do them in a more scaleable manner. To all community members - across languages across India - if you did want any help in any aspect of community building, please feel free to reach out to Shiju[1] at shiju(a)wikimedia.org. Please also do add comments or ideas or suggestions you might have to the Community Building Pilot's talk page.[10] hisham[11] Notes [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Shiju [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program/Indic_Languages [3] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program [4] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program/Pilot_Designs/Basic_Community_… [5] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-December/005813.… [6] http://blog.wikimedia.in/2012/05/16/ten-glorious-years-of-assamese-wikipedi… [7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Noopur28 [8] http://wikimedia.in/ [9] http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Grants/Photo_and_Article_Competition_and_Wiki_Work… [10] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:India_Program/Pilot_Designs/Basic_Commu… [11] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hisham

फिल्म क्लब ची सुरुवात युवांनी आपल्या भोवतालच्या जगाशी नाते जोडावे, या गुंतागुंतीच्या वास्तवातील आपले स्थान ओळखावे आणि त्यात सकारात्मक बदल घडवण्यासाठी योगदान द्यावे या विचारांनी निर्माण ही युवांच्या शिक्षणाची प्रक्रिया डॉ. राणी व डॉ. अभय बंग यांनी सुरु केली. या प्रक्रियेचे विद्यार्थी आपल्या क्षमतेनुसार, आवडी-निवडी नुसार आपापल्या ठिकाणी कार्य करत आहेत. उत्तम चित्रपट एकत्र बघणे, ते अनुभवणे, त्याबद्दल शेअर करणे, त्यातून जगभरातील विविध वास्तवांची जवळून ओळख करून घेणे, त्यातून आपण अधिक समृद्ध होणे, हा त्यातील एक उपक्रम. गेले आठ महिने आम्ही दर महिन्यातून एकदा एक चित्रपट एकत्र बघत आहोत. एकत्र चित्रपट बघण्याची अलग मजा आपण आपल्या संकल्पनांना इतके घट्ट धरून असतो की त्यापेक्षा काही वेगळे समजायला , बघायला, अन् स्वीकारायला आपली तयारी नसते. जो वेगळा विचार आहे तो शांत पणे आत्मसात करण्याची, मोकळेपणाने समजून घेण्याची आपल्या मनाची अवस्था नसते. चित्रपटामध्ये आपल्या मनाची अशी अवस्था निर्माण करण्याची ताकद आहे जी आपल्या घट्ट समजुतींना काही वेळ बाजूला ठेवू देते. त्यांना तपासायला लावते, त्यातील त्रुटी सापडल्यास त्या सुधारायला उद्युक्त करते. आणि त्यातून आपली समज अधिक विवेकी बनू शकते. एकत्र चित्रपट बघण्याची अलग मजा आहे. चित्रपटानंतर जेव्हा गप्पा होतात तेव्हा त्याच कलाकृती कडे किती निरनिराळ्या तऱ्हेने प्रत्येक जण बघत असते हे समजते. प्रत्येक जण आपापल्या जीवन अनुभवाशी त्याची सांगड घालू पाहतो आणि त्यातून हा प्रवास अजूनच समृद्ध होतो. एकत्र प्रवासातील आठवणी जशा आपल्याला एकत्र बांधून ठेवतात. त्यातील घटना, मजा, विनोद, जसे त्या सहप्रवाशांनी एकत्र अनुभवले असतात अन् नंतर कधीतरी जेव्हा त्याचा संदर्भ द्यावा लागतो तो या सहप्रवाशांना अगदी सहज समजतो. तसेच चित्रपटांचेही आहे. एकत्र बघितलेल्या चित्रपटातील घटनेचा संदर्भ आपल्या सहप्रवाशाला लगेच लागतो. शब्दात करता येणार नाही तो संवाद केवळ या संदर्भामुळे होऊन जातो. आतापर्यंतच्या प्रवासातील स्टेशने... या प्रवासाची सुरुवात आम्ही ‘*लाईफ इज ब्युटिफुल*’ इथून केली. दुसऱ्या महायुद्धातील हिंसेच्या काळात, छळछावणीतील भीषण अत्याचाराला सामोरे जाताना त्याची झळ आपल्या लहान मुलाला लागू नये यासाठी विनोदाची विलक्षण ताकद वापरून एका बापानी दिलेला हा ‘जीवन सुंदर आहे’ हा संदेश याची ही कथा. मग आमचे जहाज लागले ‘*कॅसब्लँका*’ या मोरोक्को देशातील बंदराला. पुढील स्टेशन अमेरिकेतील मॅडिसन कौंटीतील एक छोटेसे गाव. ‘*द ब्रिजेस ऑफ मॅडिसन कौंटी’ *ही फ्रॅन्सेस्का आणि रॉबर्ट यांच्या चार दिवसाच्या एकत्र सहवासाची कथा. या चार दिवसांचा सहवास हा फ्रॅन्सेस्काच्या आयुष्यातील पोकळी काढून टाकतो अन् तिच्या उर्वरित आयुष्यासाठी कायमची ठेव होतो. हा प्रवास असाच पुढे इराण मध्ये ‘*ऑफसाईड’ *निमित्त पोहोचला. इराण मधील तरुणींनी स्वातंत्र्यासाठी केलेला संघर्ष जाफर पनाही या दिग्दर्शकानी फार साधेपानानी मांडला आहे. या प्रवासातील ही काही ठळक स्टेशने. ही प्रक्रिया आम्हा सर्वांना अत्यंत समृद्ध करणारी वाटली आणि म्हणून या प्रवासात अधिकाधिक मित्रांना सहभागी होता यावे यासाठी एका मोठ्या सभागृहाचा शोध घेतला आणि नॅशनल फिल्म अर्काईव्ह ऑफ इंडिया (NFAI) ही जागा निश्चित झाली. पुढील चित्रपट ‘अप’ हा आहे. हा पिक्सार चा ऍनिमेटेड चित्रपट आहे. एका आजोबा आणि लहान मुलाची ही मज्जेदार कथा आहे. आपल्या उडत्या घरातून आपली स्वप्न पूर्ण करण्याचा त्यांचा ध्यास यात बघायला मिळतो. या प्रवासात सहभागी होण्यासाठी आपल्या सर्वांना आग्रहाचे निमंत्रण. ठिकाण: आर्काईव्ह (NFAI), प्रभात रस्त्याचे चे लॉ कॉलेज रस्त्याचे टोक पुणे दिनांक: १९ एप्रिल २०१२ गुरुवार सायं: ६ ते ९ अधिक माहितीसाठी: संपर्क दीपा देशमुख ९४५५ ५५५४०, तन्मय जोशी ८०८७५ ०२१८६
