আমরাও করতে পারি? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jon Harald Søby <jhsoby(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 3:07 AM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Nobel Peace Prize announcement and editathon To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi, all! The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this Friday, and in cooperation with Wikimedia Norge, the Nobel Peace Center <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Center> has invited Wikipedians from the Norwegian Wikipedia community to an editathon to improve the article about the winner(s?) as soon as possible. We'll be sitting practically in the next room from where the announcement is made, updating relevant articles as fast as we can. For this to be a global event, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested to join us in the IRC channel #wikipedia-nobel <irc://freenode/#wikipedia-nobel>, where we'll be talking and coordinating. We'll also try to livetweet the event using the hashtag #wikinobel <https://twitter.com/hashtag/wikinobel>, probably mainly from the account @WikimediaNorge <https://twitter.com/WikimediaNorge>. The press conference will be start around 10:30 Norwegian time, which is *08:30 UTC*, like I said on *Friday, 10th of October*. Please join us, and help spread this invitation to your community. -- mvh Jon Harald Søby <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jon_Harald_S%C3%B8by> _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> -- *Nurunnaby Chowdhury Hasive* Administrator | Bengali Wikipedia <http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:nhasive> Member | IEG Committee, Wikimedia Foundation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/People> Social Media Interaction Moderator | The Daily Prothom-Alo <http://www.prothom-alo.com> Bangladesh Ambassador | Open Knowledge Foundation Network <http://www.okfn.org> Treasurer | Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN) <http://www.bdosn.org> Task Force Member | Mozilla Bangladesh <http://www.mozillabd.org> fb.com/nhasive | @nhasive <http://www.twitter.com/nhasive> | Skype: nhasive | www.nhasive.com

বন্ধুরা, এক সঙ্গে আমরা অনুষ্ঠান উৎযাপন করব না, এমনটা আমাকে কেউ জানায় নি। কিন্তু এই আলোচনা থেকে এই মতামতটা বেড়িয়ে এসেছে, একসঙ্গে অনুষ্ঠান উৎযাপন করতে বাংলাদেশ আগ্রহী নয়। তাই বাংলাদেশীদের মতামতকে গ্রহন করে ভারতীয় বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ানরা আলাদা অনুষ্ঠান উৎযাপন করারা পরিকল্পনা গ্রহন করতে চলেছে। সবাই ভাল থাকবেন, অনুষ্ঠান উৎযাপন সুন্দর হোক। রইল আগাম শুভেচ্ছা ও শুভ কামনা। সবাই ভাল থাকবেন। জয়ন্ত
