[CIS-A2K] July Newsletter
by Subhashish Panigrahi 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Dear all, CIS-A2K would like to share with you the newsletter for the month of July 2015. We look forward to hearing any feedback or input you might have. The Goan Konkani Wikipedia (available at gom.wikipedia.org) has gone live after spending nine long years in incubation. Konkani Wikipedia has many heroes, Melissa Simoes and Darshan Kandolkar are two of the many long-term contributors who joined Konkani Wikipedia during the Konkani Wikipedia @ Goa University program and are still active even after the program was formally concluded. Darshan is an Assistant Professor at the Government College Pernem in Goa. His professor at Goa University, Dr. Madhavi Sardesai—who passed away last year—played a vital role in inspiring him to pursue higher studies in Konkani. Darshan realized that there is a lot to be written in Konkani when he was introduced to Wikipedia, and after that, he became dedicated towards contributing to the project. The Konkani Wikimedia community has been using social media actively to promote the Konkani Wikipedia project, and to celebrate the successes of its contributors. After Melissa became the top contributor to the project, her fellow editor Luis Gomes congratulated her. That brought Melissa into the spotlight, gaining the attention of editors from the global Wikimedia community. The community is continuing a tradition to rewarding the most prolific contributor of each month as the "Wikipedian of the Month". More in the Wikimedia blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/07/15/konkani-wikipedia-goes-live/ == Event organized/participated == * Christ university Undergraduate program (July 1-8): Students were initiated into the Wikimedia activities with hands on sessions of typing on Wikisource. Faculty of the Christ University helped the A2K team in deciding on the texts that were to be typed. These texts will provide much needed impetus for Wikisource related activities in Indian Languages. Wikipedia Education Programme at Christ University received support from Ravishankar.A of the Tamil Wikimedia community and Sayant Mahato from Sanskrit Wikimedia community. * St. Aloyisius college, Mangalore (July 4-5): Tulu and Kannada Wikipedia workshops were conducted in St. Aloysis College, Mangalore. Tulu Wikipedia is in Incubator and a small community is growing in Mangalore.

This program was organized during June 24-27 by CIS-A2K with support from Ravishankar.A from Wikimedia India, MediaWiki developers Pavithra H., Yogesh Omshivaprakash H.L. and Harsh Kothari, and Tamil Wikimedian Dineshkumar Ponnusamy. * Wikimania 2015, Mexico City: ** Learning Day (15 July 2015): A whole day dedicated for evaluation of strategies and activities by various major stakeholders of the Wikimedia movement; community members who lead major activities, Wikimedia chapters, affiliate organizations and Wikimedia Foundation itself. There were several group activities, exchange of ideas focused on project and community level outreach and other activities, tools and techniques, and best practices. Subhashish Panigrahi participated in this event. ** Talk on Guerrilla GLAM: Subhashish presented about doing GLAM the guerrilla way--by sharing many frugal practices, and ways around acquiring cultural content to enrich Wikipedia and Wikipedia's sister projects where the conventional GLAM partnerships do not fetch much success. * * Panel discussion "Edit-a-thons for bridging the gender gap on Wikimedia: A panel discussion centered around using edit-a-thons as an outreach tool among women, measuring its impact and comparing it with other modes of outreach. Subhashish along with Malayalam Wikimedian Netha Hussain as moderator, and other fellow Wikimedians in the panel Rohini Lakshane, Emily Temple-Wood, Siko Bouterse (WMF) and Heather Walls participated in the discussion. ** Indic meetup: During Wikimania, an Indic meetup was organized where Wikimedians from India, Bangladesh and Nepal representing various language communities, Wikimedia India, Wikimedia Bangladesh, Wikimedia Nepal, and Access To Knowledge (CIS-A2K) gathered to discuss about various challenges, cross-community collaborative projects, organizing larger events, and strategies to grow the Wikimedia movement in South Asia. * "Classical Languages In The Digital Era" conference, Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore (Participated by Tanveer Hasan on 17 July 2015): Organized by Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysore this conference was aimed at discussing about the future of Indian classical languages in the digital era. Classical languages that are more of confined within the print media have to find their way out to reach to masses using the digital media. Linguists, researchers and scholars representing various Indian languages gathered at CIIL where Tanveer Hasan from CIS-A2K participated. * Hackathon at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay (28 June 2015) Around 35 students (25 male and 10 female) and interns together from IIT Bombay participated in a hackathon organized in the institution by the Wikimedia community led by Santosh Singare and Rahul Deshmukh.

by Sujay Chandra 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Dear my fellow Wikipedians, Greetings from Kolkata, India. I am pleased to inform you that we are going to organize a expedition project “Wikipedia Treks Kalindi Khal” under “Wikipedia Treks Mountain “in September 2015. This is a high-altitude trekking expedition from Gangotri to Badrinath in the Garhwal Himalayan region of India, targeting all language editions of Wikipedia, Commons, Wikspecies, Wikivoyage and other WMF projects. The overall purpose of Wikipedia Treks Kalindi Khal is to increase the material related to Himalayan Range with a free license in Wikimedia Commons and improve the quality and increase the amount of articles about diversifying Himalayan mountain range and other respective variety in different languages in Wikipedia. Reaching out to the majority of Himalayan mountain range during this trekking program will not only raise awareness among various community chapters, but also motivate them to contribute to the Wikimedia projects and organize this kind of trekking expedition in future. I just need an endorsement from all of you for this unique project https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Sujay25/Wikipedia_Treks_Kalindi_… Feel free to discuss about the project in the discussion page. Thanks in advance, With warm regards, Sujay Chandra (Sujay25)
