Wikimedia India Chapter welcomes new grant requests and project proposals
by Ravishankar Ayyakkannu 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hi, Wikimedia India Chapter welcomes community driven grant requests and project proposals that are * Innovative * Creative * Pan-Indian * Scalable * Reproducible * Impactful * *... *(wait, that is already a long list of keywords :) )* OK, let us think of something more than the typical outreach work we do ! While the chapter gets ready updating a minimum set of requirements, policies and procedures for awarding grants, please start discussing in your community village pump about prospective projects. When we review grant requests, we will be looking for signs of community approval or interest. Stay tuned for more updates and let me assure you will get approval for grants in a Tatkal basis :) Ravi, Program Director, Wikimedia India Chapter.

Fwd: [Wikimedia Announcements] Be part of the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs!
by Arnav Sonara 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

FYI This might be useful, pleases share in the community. Thanks, Arnav. (User:Rangilo_Gujarati). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anasuya Sengupta <asengupta(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 7:29 PM Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Be part of the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs! To: wikimediaannounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Dear Wikimedian friends and colleagues, tl;dr We have just launched our second round of voluntary reporting. This is the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs we've done so far as a movement, and all program leaders are invited to take part. :-) You can do so here: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0B3azKpdZ7ggCtD (or get in touch with the L&E team for support). As we did in the Fall of 2013, we invite community members leading and evaluating Wikimedia programs to share their data with the rest of the movement (i.e., Edit-a-thons, Editing Workshops, On-wiki Writing Contests, Photo Events, etc.). Last year’s data was collected and analysed in a series of reports that was the beginning of telling the Wikimedia story of impact: the incredible work of over 60 program leaders implementing 119 programs or projects in 30 countries across the world. This helped us start building a set of good and best practices for effective programs across our movement.[1] This year’s data drive will be critical to help us continue to do and learn better from each other. To best prepare, program leaders can review the reporting items [1] and start gathering that data you have filed away about your programs since the last reporting round. We are looking for data on programs completed any time from September 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. You can ask questions directly on the reporting form preview [2] or on our portal talk page [3]. If you are planning to report and may need support from us, do let us know so that we can help in any way needed. When ready, you will find the reporting collector at: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0B3azKpdZ7ggCtD We also welcome your data in different formats. For example, if you have already reported data elsewhere, we are happy to work with you to make the process as easy as possible. Message eval(a)wikimedia.org and we can work out the easiest way to include your data. We are expanding the number of programs covered in the reporting this year, and extend the reporting window longer for some new programs, GLAM, and Wiki Loves Monuments. See the schedule below for timelines for reporting for each program type. Data submission deadlines by program: Due by October 20th Edit-a-thons/editing parties Editing Workshops Due by November 3rd On-wiki Writing Contests Photo Events (Wiki Loves Earth, WikiExpeditions, WikiTakes, etc.) Wikipedia Education Program Due by November 17th Conferences GLAM Content Donation Hackathons Wiki Loves Monuments (2013 and 2014) Wikimedian in Residence Remember, reporting is voluntary but the more people do it, the better representation of programs we can make. This voluntary reporting allows us to come together and generate a bird’s eye view of programs [4]. We want to understand the impact of programs across different contexts, to examine both more broadly, and more deeply, what works best to meet our shared goals for Wikimedia and to, together, grow the awesome [5] in Wikimedia programs! On behalf of the Program Evaluation and Design team, thank you for your time and support in this initiative.

Software Freedom Day Celebrations across India
by Ravishankar Ayyakkannu 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi, Software Freedom Day is a global celebration and education of why transparent and sustainable technologies are now more important than ever. You may find an event happening near your place at http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/map/index.php?year=2014 If not, you can start an event and gather friends from Wikimedia, FOSS and other Free Culture communities. This is a good opportunity not only to spread awareness about Wikimedia projects but also a chance to network and win friends for our community. I will be attending Software Freedom Day celebrations in Chennai on 27th September at Anna University Campus, Chennai. More details can be found at http://fsftn.org/sfd2014-stall-registration-form/ We have a stall registered already for Wikimedia projects. I welcome the Wikimedia community in and around Chennai for this event. Thanks, Ravi, Program Director, Wikimedia India Chapter.

New community nominations in place of absent invitees welcome
by Ravishankar 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi, We are just realizing that October 4th and 5th coincide with a festive long week end. So, some members who have been earlier nominated and invited by WMF are unable to attend the event. However, all communities are welcome to recommend nominations replacing these invitees. Please nominate new names or recommend who is next in order to replace the absent attendees Doing this in your community Village pump will make it easy to make a quick decision. Also, for people who are near Bangalore or prefer to travel by rail / road, WMF will be glad to reimburse the cost if you can arrange the travel yourself. We don't have much time left. Best to do this before Saturday morning (in Indian time). Thanks, Ravi

Urgent reminder: please rsvp your attendance at the Bangalore community consultation *today*
by Anasuya Sengupta 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Dear all, Please* rsvp your attendance at the Bangalore community consultation *today* (Friday, September 19)* if you have been nominated, or let us know if you have any difficulties with the decision.[1] I have cut and pasted the names below for ease, but please respond on wiki. It is critical that we have your travel details over the next two days so that we can book travel and lodging for you. Given the holidays coming up, both transport and the hotels are likely to get full, and we want to prevent any unfortunate last minute difficulties with ensuring this really important conversation goes off well. If you are not able to confirm attendance, we will be forced to assume silence=non-participation. :-( Ravi and other folks on this list: could I ask you to ping those you know who have been nominated and remind them as well? Many thanks - it takes a village to have an event!
