4 Apr 2014


      Dear Wikimedians,
CIS-A2K is glad to share with you the news about the re-release of the 
below listed 14 books (13 Odia and 1 English) under CC-BY-SA 3.0 license 
during the Odisha Day 2014 [1] celebration in Bhubaneswar. This has been 
done in collaboration with the Odia Wikipedia community, Manik Biswanath 
Smrutinyasa and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS). As some of 
you may know KISS is one our institutional partners.
1) 11 Odia books by noted writer and academic Dr. Jagannath Mohanty (we 
partnered Manik Biswanath Smrutinyasa Trust, founded by Dr. Mohanty for 
the re-release)
2) 2 scholarly books on Odia language by Odia language scholar Subrat 
Prusty from Institute of Odia Studies and Research.
3) Classical Odia (in English) co-authored by noted linguist Padmashree 
Debiprasanna Pattanayak and Subrat Prusty.
We have also managed to get significant media coverage for this event, 
which has got 14 print and web media mentions. [2]  We will continue to 
bring much more Odia content under free license as per our next year's 
Odia Wikipedia work plan [3] and will try to use it to make the Odia 
Wikisource live [4].
