Hi, Since this is being discussed in open lists, I request community members not to engage with this issue directly. Doing so will only complicate the issue further. Any community member getting such mails can forward them to chapter at wikimedia dot in . Wikimedia Chapter (India) is well informed of this issue and will take care of this in a formal way. Thanks, Ravi

Fwd: Grossly Obscene pornographic images on WIKIMEDIA.IN

I've got this mail six times in bcc. Please look into it. Any more mails of this nature will go into my trash bin. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "IAC techs" <iac.techs(a)gmail.com> Date: 05-Nov-2014 10:50 pm Subject: Grossly Obscene pornographic images on WIKIMEDIA.IN To: <yogesh_khandke(a)yahoo.com>, <nethahussain(a)gmail.com> Cc: REBLOGGED BY IACTECHS(a)GMAIL.COM on behalf of India Against Corruption's members who are users / editors of Wikipedia community This is a protest circulated against the strange decision by Anivar Aravind to hastily close the Q&A session for candidates after IAC poses uncomfortable queries from the "community" To: nethahussain(a)gmail.com, and other candidates and WMIN members. We notice that you are a member of the WIKIMEDIA.IN website and actively promoting LGBT issues there including for your election campaign. We suppose you know that at the present time "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" is against India's laws, and distributing grossly obscene / pornographic images of it via WIKIMEDIA.IN is a serious criminal offence which IAC has reported to the concerned agencies and is seriously prosecuting. IAC is also monitoring WIKIMEDIA.IN to assist law enforcement agencies. This email is being sent to you as the illegally appointed returning officer Anivar Aravind has deleted IAC's query for all candidates for the WMIN EC vacancies (which was publicly posted to WIKIMEDIA.IN by one of IAC's volunteers as a member of the "community"). http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Elections2014/Nominations/Q%26A http://wiki.wikimedia.in/index.php?title=Elections2014%2FNominations%2FQ%26… PS: And another editor was banned from WIKIMEDIA.IN for asking queries on racism and discrimination against Indians at WIKIPEDIA, again by Anivar who also refuses to publish the non-existent Karnataka Society Rule 1961 to prevent community members posing queries (which actual official rules can be accessed here) https://www.karnataka.gov.in/karigr/actsrules/karnatakasocietiesact.htm from which it is abundantly clear that you are ineligible to contest elections and Anivar cannot conduct it.

Updated Aksharyogini font release in Open Font License
by Sudhanwa Jogalekar 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

Dear friends, You may be aware that we (my family) have released a font family earlier. Here is some background if you are not aware of it. On the first death Anniversary of Yogini Joglekar(my aunt), our family released AksharYogini (Normal) Font on 1st Nov. 2006. This font is primarily for Marathi language but can also be used for Hindi (for any language using Devanagari). It also has English support. Later on, on the occasion of Gudhipadwa (Chaitra Shuddha 1, 1931; that is 27th March 2009) , we released the additional fonts to complete the "AksharYogini font family". This font family was/is made available on the site http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com for free usage/distribution/sharing. Today, on the occasion of Eighth Death Anniversary of Yogini Joglekar, we are now releasing an updated "AksharYogini font". This font is also available on the same website http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com This is an updated font and has support for the new (MS Windows) operating systems where the internal mechanism for font rendering is changed. Also, it has additional characters for the current Unicode standard and the Rupee Sign is also included. Most important is the licensing. The new release is under the Open Font License. As such, all Linux distributions will be able to freely use it in their packaging. Please feel free to use, share, distribute the new font. You can download it from http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com . Give us feedback on my email id or the official id for the font " aksharyogini at sudhanwa.com " You can also comment on the guestbook on the website. Do share this news and also the font. Wishing you a Very Happy Diwali !! Thanks and regards -Sudhanwa -- ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! web: www.sudhanwa.com blog: www.sudhanwa.in Twitter: sudhanwa Check on FB, Linkedin for more.
