‘टेक मराठी’ - ७ व ८ जानेवारी २०१२ पुणे
by Mandar Kulkarni 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

मराठी भाषेवरील प्रेमातून आणि टेक्नॉंलॉंजी मराठी माणसांपर्यंत पोहोचण्याच्या ध्यासातून, ‘टेक मराठी’ ही चळवळ उभी राहिली. सभा, व्याख्याने आणि लेखांच्या सहाय्याने टेक्नॉंलॉंजीची विविध अंगे, नवोदित ते जाणकार अशा सर्व स्तरांपर्यंत पोहोचण्याचे काम टेक मराठी करत आहे.आम्हांला टेक्नॉंलॉंजीमधल्या प्रत्येक शब्दाला मराठी प्रतिशब्द तयार करायचा नाही. पण आपण आपल्या मातृभाषेत उत्तम संवाद साधू शकतो. या चळवळीला एक व्यापक आणि भक्कम स्वरूप देण्याच्या उद्देशाने एक महामेळावा आयोजित करीत आहोत. .७ व ८ जानेवारी २०१२ हा महामेळावा http://techmarathi.com/mahamelava/?page_id=109%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%BE%E…. सर्व मराठी जनांनी त्याचा अवश्य लाभ घ्यावा.७ व ८ जानेवारी २०१२ पुणे With Regards, Mandar V.

Asking Flickr contributors for donating images to Commons (Was: [Wikimediaindia-l] Bangaloreans, help convince ....)
by Ashwin Baindur 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Hi everybody, (long post, bear with me) In response to the message given below, I also sent a message to Vinu Thomas on the lines of messages I write such as the example below. I usually ask Flickr natural history photographers for permission to use their images. I use the following arguments as outlined in a specimen mail (actually sent by me). For example : Nest of Red-faced spinetail Hi Scott, I'm an editor of Wikipedia from India. I'm writing an article on "Structures built by animals". You can see the article here placed in the main wiki though it is still under development : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structures_built_by_animals It has been viewed over 800 times in the last four weeks or so. Wikipedia needs an image of the nest of the "Red-faced spinetail" for the above article to illustrate a fact that I shall be adding. "The red-faced spinetail places bits of grass and other material loosely streaming both above and below the nest chamber to break its shape and to cause it to resemble random debris without any underlying structure (Hansell 2000)." The image could also be used in the following artcles - * Red-faced spinetail (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-faced_Spinetail) (this article is viewed by 70 people on average every month) * Nest (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nest) (this article is viewed by 7600 people on average every month) Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not have an image of a Red-faced spinetail's nest in its repository called Wikimedia Commons. I wanted to request if you would consider donating your image of the nest for a social cause. www.flickr.com/photos/certhia/5659454247/ Having an image adorn a main aspect of a creature's life, or an important fact in natural history on Wikipedia gives great pleasure to the photographer. If you would like to oblige, please just change the license of this image to allow commercial use and derivatives and send me a message. I would do the rest and keep you informed. If you have any queries, please do let me know. I will be happy to answer them Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur I'm glad to say scott_clark generously obliged and you can see his image here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Red-faced_Spinetail_Nest.jpg The other image in REd-faced spinetail was also provided by another Flickr contributor - Jim Scarff. The purpose of sending this email is to let you know how I do it and that its being done quite successfully.

Invite for WikiWomenCamp
by Noopur 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Dear all, This is to invite all the women editors and contributors on Wikipedia and other sister projects from India to *WikiWomenCamp*. I'd like to invite all our fellow women members from the chapter and contributors outside to attend the conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina in May 2012. While the conference is largely aimed at women involved in the Wikimedia movement, the organisers feel that women editors from Wikipedia, helping on Indic communities can also offer a unique perspective that can be of use to female leaders inside the Wikimedia movement and help expand the movement to make it inclusive for all. In turn, we hope that we can provide them with contacts and assistance with their work related projects. Details related to the conference can be found at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp Do pass this on to the other lists concerned and hope to see substantial participation from India.Let's do it! :) Warmly Noopur -- Noopur Raval Student Arts and Aesthetics Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Ph: 9650567690

Welcoming Subhashish Panigrahi
by Hisham 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

[cross-posting to reach pan-India; apologies if you have got it from some other mailing list.] Hi Folks, As you might be aware, the Consultant, Team Support position is to be filled as part of the India Programs team. (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251….) I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has agreed to join as Consultant, Community & Program Support. Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha. He has a BE in Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore. He has worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently based in Bangalore. He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha about Wikipedia. Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it in Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia. Since then, he's been on fire! He's helped the Bangalore community organise the monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community & momentum for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai conducting a WikiAcademy there. He is a fantastically inspiring example of a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held in his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility & ownership and then spreading his skills & knowledge to others. He is also one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the Wikimedia Dream. His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and handwriting analysis. (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that last bit about him. So the next time you see him, show him your writing and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!) He has also been involved with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera outbreak in Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation, eOdissa.com. Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_S…) was to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a full time role. The functions listed are essential and need to be done - but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and it's value to the community. I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant, Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community & Program Support. I envisage this position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end work listed above but 2/3 of time can be very productively utilised supporting community efforts - such as helping community building & outreach and supporting community-led initiatives. An important consideration I have for this redesignation is after looking at the specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make sure that he has the required space to realise his potential and to support the community and movement. Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for and as part of the Wikimedia community. The one question that he emphasized during the selection process was whether he would retain the flexibility to continue to pursue his personal passions on Wikimedia; the answer he got was a loud Y-E-S!!! :-) I'm delighted to have another community member joining the team. He'll formally start in Delhi on January 9th 2012. Do join me in welcoming him. Warmest Regards, hisham
