Dear Wikimedians,
Hope you are doing well. As you already know, Pune Nadi Darshan is a
campaign cum photography contest on Wikimedia Commons organised jointly by
Rotary Water Olympiad and CIS-A2K. The contest started on 16 March on the
occasion of World Water Week and received a good response from citizens as
well as organisations working on river issues.
Taking into consideration the feedback from the volunteers and
organisations about extending the deadline of 16 April, the organisers have
decided to extend the contest till 16 May 2022. Some leading organisations
have also shown interest in donating their archive and need a sufficient
time period for the process.
We are still mainly using these topics which are mentioned below.
* Beauty of rivers in Pune district
* Flora & fauna of rivers in Pune district
* Religious & cultural places around rivers in Pune district
* Human activities at rivers in Pune district
* Constructions on rivers in Pune district
* River Pollution in Pune district
Anyone can participate still now, so, we appeal to all Wikimedians to
contribute to this campaign to enrich river-related content on Wikimedia
Commons. For more information, you can visit the event page.

Dear Wikimedians,
We are happy to announce that the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group
will be organizing Indic Hackathon 2022, a regional event as part of the
main hackathon taking place in a hybrid mode during 20-22 May 2022. The
event will take place in Hyderabad.
The event page can be seen at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Hackathon_2022.
In this regard, we would like to invite community members who would like to
attend in-person to fill out a form for scholarship applications by 17
April, which is available on the event page. Please note that the hackathon
won’t be focusing on training of new skills, and it is expected that
applications have some experience/knowledge contributing to technical areas
of the Wikimedia movement.
Please post on the event talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Hackathon_2022> if you have any
queries.
