Hello Everyone,
I am glad to share a recent collaboration of Odia Wikipedia community
with
the Government of Odisha.
After releasing the content of 2017 Asian Athletics Championships (
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/07/28/digest-asia- athletics-championships/
) another initiative by the Government of Odisha
to bridge the dearth of
Information about Odisha on Wikipedia by releasing its social media
accounts under CC-BY 4.0.
Earlier this week, the community members met the Government officials
regarding this, and after understanding the value of Open Content, it
took
only 24hrs to release the social media channels
under CC-BY 4.0 license.
As a pilot project, 8 social media accounts from Government of Odisha are
under CC-BY 4.0,Now, the content is free for everyone to use, share, and
build upon their work.

The community is also planning to take the collaboration further and
relicense some of the websites under CC-BY 4.0.
