Dear all,
A workshop on Bangla Wikipedia was held yesterday (12 November 2014) at
State University of Bangladesh [1]. Students of the university and some
faculty members participated at the workshop. Wikimedia Bangladesh (WMBD)
executive members Ali Haider Khan and Tanweer, Bangla Wikipedia
administrator Nahid Sultan and Campus Ambassador Zahid Hossain spoke at the
workshop on Bangla Wikipedia, Bengali Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia
movement in Bangladesh. Later the participants were given hands-on training
about contributing to Wikipedia.
At the end of the event, prominent Bangladeshi writer Mujtoba Ahmed
Murshed, also a faculty member of the university, gave away all his
literary works under public domain to publish them at Bangla Wikisource.
Soon he will give WMBD relevant legal documents regarding copyright issues.
