To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." <
wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
The traction for Wikimedia projects and content in Indian languages (and
Indian content in English) has been growing over the last decade thanks to
the passion and tireless contributions of several Wikimedians. We are
getting set for WikiConference India 2011 which is around the corner. The
Wikimedia Chapter Executive Committee (EC) and the Conference organising
team thought it is appropriate to recognize the most noteworthy
contributors to Indian language projects and Indian content in English
during the conference.
Arun Ramarathnam and Naveen Francis from the EC are leading this
initiative. The process for the recognition has been prepared and a well
diversified Jury is identified. Details of the process and the Jury are
enclosed for your perusal.
I would like to appeal to all of you to spare few minutes to think of
fellow wikimedians who made a significant difference over the first decade
of Wikimedia movement and nominate them for the recognition.
Further communication on the wiki based nomination form would follow from
the Jury. Please spread this communication across other relevant lists and
participate enthusiastically and help make this initiative, the first
collective effort to appreciate stellar contributions from the community a
success.
Cheers
Arjuna Rao Chavala

Noteworthy Wikimedian Recognition
The Recognition
Wikimedia projects have been active in India for a few years and the
journey has been exciting (Wikimedia Chapter First Annual

Wikimedia
Foundation article<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_India_Chronicles_%28150dpi%29.pdf>).
This has been made possible by the contributions of hundreds of Wikimedians
across various Wikimedia projects. WikiConference India 2011 is the first
conference and largest congregation of Wikimedians in India across
Wikimedia projects. The Wikimedia India chapter Executive committee
believes it would be befitting to use this opportunity to recognize
noteworthy contributions of some of the best contributors to our projects.
The objective of this recognition is to appreciate Wikimedians

languages for their contributions.
The nomination process
- Any Wikimedian can nominate any other wikimedian of their choice for
the recognition (preferred). Self nominations are also allowed.
- Nominees for the Recognition should have made significant
contributions to Wikimedia India projects or the movement. Contributions
include content, Outreach and contributions in any other form.
- Nominations should be through a filled Nomination form on the Wikimedia
India wiki <http://wiki.wikimedia.in/>.
- Incomplete nominations will not be considered.
- The jury's decision would be final.
Eligibility Criterion
Any wikimedian other than current Members of the Wikimedia India Executive
committee, members of the Jury, Wiki Conference India Office bearers,
staff/contractors of the Wikimedia foundation or anyone paid directly for
their time/effort by Wikimedia organisations are eligible for these
recognitions.
The Jury
Jury constitution

committee, Wikimedia Foundation India office, Conference organisers and

Jury composition

4. Bishaka Datta
5. Hisham Mundol
6. Jayanta Nath
7. Naveen Francis
8. Pradeep Mohandas
9. Shiju Alex
Jury's role and responsibility
The role of the jury will be to select Wikimedians for the recognition from
the nominations made.
Key dates
- Announcement of call for nominations to community: 9th Nov 2011,
Wednesday.
- Last date for nomination submission:13th Nov 2011, Sunday
- Finalisation of Jury decision:17th Nov 2011, Thursday

Hi Folks,
A few months ago, the Foundation asked Tory Read to travel to India and listen and learn and write about the movement in India. The objective was to harvest experiences and learnings and to have an open discussion around what we could all do to further the movement.
This isn't in the form of a (possibly) long & boring report - but in the form of a story. (Tory's a professional researcher, writer and former journalist.) To put this together, Tory travelled for a couple of weeks across Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and across towns in Kerala - attending community meet-ups and meeting up/speaking with a host of individual community members (in these cities and indeed beyond.)
Tory's tale is called, "The India Chronicles", and is available on Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_India_Chronicles_(150dpi).pdf
Do have a read through and do share your views on it - positives and negatives - and do feel free to comment on any aspect of it. It would be wonderful to have an engaging conversation on this.
Warmest Regards,
hisham
Dear Indic wikimedians,
Thank you very much for the welcome messages and for making me feel at home.
Over the past few years I have interacted with many of you for the various
Indic Wiki related activities and we have done many successful projects.
Thank you very much for all those wonderful projects. Now when we are moving
to a different phase of growth of Wikimedia in India, I request more
support from your side.
To get started we shall together develop a plan for Indic language wikis and
design few pilot projects to gain learnings to drive growth. I propose to
develop this plan collaboratively and openly - in true wiki style. This
will include focused Indic language meetups, virtual meetings, desk research
and constantly synthesizing the findings from all of these into learnings.
These learnings will then flow into pilots that we will implement and review
and learn from.
For this purpose, I will be using the following page
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_….
It is very preliminary right now - but will keep updating it. The page will
give you a flavor of the kind of process and methodology I plan to use - and
also give you a hint of the end output. However, I stress that is nothing
more than a stub right now. So please provide your suggestions.
I will be in touch soon and regularly on the next steps and I will keep you
constantly posted on progress - both positive and whenever we face setbacks.
The task is huge. The potential is even more massive. I will need a lot of
your help. I invite and welcome and urge all of you to contribute to this
process - during physical meetups, in virtual meetings, one-on-one
conversations or meetings, on the talk page to the Indic Languages page and
in any and every manner that you can imagine.
As part of the India Programs of WMF, my official ID is shiju(a)wikimedia.org.
You can reach me anytime regarding any WMF's Indic wiki related topic.
Thanks
Shiju

Dear All
As I had mentioned in a previous posting (and as was so touchingly welcomed
by so many of of you), Shiju Alex is joining us to lead our Indic Languages
initiatives. In this mail (
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-July/003845.html),
I had indicated that he would join around September-October.
I'm really pleased to inform you that he has now joined India Programs (on
September 24th.)
Indic Languages is an important priority for us - and Shiju intends to start
work on this urgently. He'll be in touch shortly on this matter.
Welcome aboard, Shiju!
Warmest Regards,
*hisham*
Hi everyone!
I wanted to let you know about a survey that I am running for female
contributors to any Wikimedia project. It is being ran by me as an
independent volunteer, *not* on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dDR3a3JfaTd0a…
If you are a female contributor and you are comfortable working in English,
please participate, and if you know any female contributors, please share it
with them.
Thanks so much!
